DAIKON FETTUCCINE WITH TOMATO-BASIL SAUCE



Daikon Fettuccine with Tomato-Basil Sauce image

By now, you've probably figured out I am very fond of visual puns. Here ribbons of Daikon, the mild oversized white Japanese radish, pose as pasta. They are tossed with a quick tomato sauce spiked with a generous amount of fresh basil. The dish is light and is best served as a first course.

Provided by Masaharu Morimoto

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound daikon
Salt
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can plum tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • With a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, remove the outer skin of the daikon. Discard the skin. Continue to peel down the length of the vegetable, removing the daikon in long, narrow ribbons, which look like noodles. Soak the "fettuccine" in a bowl of cold salted water for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the tomato-basil sauce: Drain the tomatoes, reserving half of the juice. Squeeze the tomatoes through your fingers to mash them and combine with the juice; there will be about 2 cups.
  • In a heavy medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their reserved juice, the sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Boil vigorously, stirring often, until the sauce is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Drain the "noodles" and dry them on a kitchen towel. Add to the sauce and toss gently over medium heat, taking care not to break the "Daikon Fettuccine". Cook just until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Divide among individual plates, teasing the fettuccine into mounds. Serve immediately.
