Jump to Recipe

This sautéed sliced radish, capers, and kale greens spaghetti recipe is drizzled with olive oil and fresh lemon juice and topped with Parmesan cheese. 

White deep plate of spaghetti with sautéed kale and thin sliced radishes. Topped with grated Parmesan cheese. this …

Kale and radish spaghetti is versatile and can be served with whatever pasta you have on hand (bowties, orzo, rigatoni, etc...) and whatever cheese you got. Feta cheese would be delicious!

One of my favorite comfort food recipes is spaghetti with just an olive oil and Parmesan cheese base.  I throw in whatever veggies are in the fridge and dig in.  

The fresh lemon juice gives it tang.  Add some red chili flakes or sriracha if you want some heat.
