Ingredients

• Radishes - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Red chili flakes - 1 teaspoon
• Canned diced tomatoes - 400 grams
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh basil - a handful, chopped
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional)

Steps

1. Begin by washing the radishes thoroughly, then trim the ends and spiralize them into noodle shapes using a spiralizer.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the canned diced tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
