Pestos are a fantastic way to use up surplus greens. The peppery notes from the radish and arugula and the bite from garlic are a delicious base for this sauce. Serve this dish warm or cold for a refreshing and quick meal any time.

I'm going to try this recipe this week but I was wondering what type of food processor you're using?

Hi Niki, Magimix is the brand we use although there are many great brands. In case it helps, we have an article on our blog called "Kitchen Essentials" which has some brand names with links and ideas of what to consider 🤗

Super good, fast and easy to prepare. Will do it again!
Kira Safina - Nov. 20, 2024, 10:46 a.m.
This one just blew me away by how delicious it is! Definitely will be making again and again!
PUL Team - Nov. 20, 2024, 7:10 p.m.
Aw so glad that the pasta with arugula and radish greens was enjoyed, Kira!
Déborah - Nov. 3, 2024, 1:42 p.m.
Easy and quick to make, full of flavour, I love it ! 🤩
Kelsey M - Oct. 15, 2024, 12:45 p.m.
Absolute winner! We used basil instead of radish greens, but this was delish. Will be perfect in summer

Super plat de pâtes réconfortant ! Rapide à faire en plus. Peut se faire avec tout type de salade (j'ai fait avec de la mâche et ça c'est très bien passé) je n'avais pas de radis vert (c'est la première fois que j'entends parler de ce type de radis). J'ai remplacé par de la salade en plus. Je pense aussi que cela peut se faire avec n'importe quel type de noix. Je me suis régalée

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the radish greens pesto pasta recipe, Marguerite 🫶✨
Chaya - July 12, 2024, 6:02 a.m.
A great way to use up radish greens! Tasty and easy - whenever we have a dish with radishes on the menu, we make this the next night.

I used basil instead of radish greens and added green asparagus. It was sooooo fresh and delicious!
Kate - May 1, 2024, 12:06 a.m.
Wow, this was so quick to whip up - how easy! And looks so gourmet 🤗 My partner and I loved it and I felt so great knowing it was packed with so much rocket, basil and walnuts - how good 😃.
PUL Team - May 1, 2024, 1:31 a.m.
So glad you enjoyed the pasta, Kate!
Marijana - April 25, 2024, 9:41 p.m.
Can you please explain what are the raddish greens? :)
PUL Team - April 28, 2024, 4:26 a.m.
Hey Marijana, radish greens are the leafy tops of radishes. They have a peppery flavour, similar to arugula, to add a slightly spicy touch to the pasta. You can use the greens from beets, carrot tops, arugula or fresh basil instead if either of those is more accessible though 😊
Marijana - April 28, 2024, 2:50 p.m.
So, just to be clear, we ara talking about this: I never knew it was edible. We had never used it in my home.
PUL Team - April 28, 2024, 7:17 p.m.
Hi Marijana, yes that's it and they're indeed edible 😊 just a heads up, we've removed the image link in your message as we can't have external links on our site for security reasons 🫶
Marijana - April 29, 2024, 7:53 p.m.
Oh, sorry about that and thank you once more 😊❤️

I’ve made a ton of different pesto recipes in the past and this is by far my favorite I’ve made in a while! Absolutely delicious!
Melusine Parenteau - Nov. 26, 2023, 7:52 p.m.
Once again an amazing recipe! So much cheaper than "Real" pesto and sooo good! Thanks!!
Sruthi - Sept. 14, 2023, 8:24 p.m.
It was quick and delicious. However it was little dry for us so we added some white sauce. It tasted really good.
Linda Fe - Sept. 7, 2023, 1:57 a.m.
Absolutely love this! It came together within 15 minutes (got to bill the water!) and was so so tasty, really liked the kick the raw garlic have it! We will definitely be making this again.
PUL Team - Sept. 7, 2023, 11:25 p.m.
Yay we're so happy the pasta was enjoyed, Linda, thank you!
Kelly - Aug. 29, 2023, 5:35 a.m.
I made this last night and I have left overs today for lunch. It was absolutely delicious 😋
Leslie Reed - July 24, 2023, 4:53 a.m.
Very good! Subbed radish greens for spinach, worked great!
Drea - July 16, 2023, 12:46 a.m.
I love this sooo much 😍
Kaja - July 7, 2023, 1:36 p.m.
Love this recipe! The pesto is quite garlicky and thus mildly spicy even without the chili flakes, but to me the flavour is just perfect. And it comes together in 10 minutes, so quick and easy! Delicious ❤️
alex - July 5, 2023, 1:27 p.m.
Sooo easy but tasty!
Ed M - July 1, 2023, 9:55 p.m.
Super tasty and super quick! Subbed out the cashews with almonds and still worked great. There lemon juice on top really adds a nice flavour too
PUL Team - July 4, 2023, 2:47 a.m.
Woop woop! Thanks, Ed 😊
Elena - June 26, 2023, 5:21 p.m.
Absolutely amazing! So fresh for the summer. Just made it and didn’t have the nuts on hand so just subbed them with charred pine nuts and it was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏼💚
