Recipe from blog “Just a taste”
I love Caesar salad and I love pasta, so what’s not to like about this?
Serves 8-10
FOR THE DRESSING:
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup good quality mayonnaise
2 tsp minced fresh garlic
1 tsp anchovy paste
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
FOR THE PASTA SALAD:
8 oz. uncooked pasta, such as rotini or penne
2 hearts of Romaine
Shredded rotisserie chicken or chopped cooked chicken breasts or thighs
Croutons (optional)
Parmesan cheese, for serving
MAKE THE DRESSING:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire, mayonnaise, minced garlic and anchovy paste until well combined. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon pepper then set the dressing aside while you make the salad.
MAKE THE PASTA SALAD:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large serving bowl.
Cut the Romaine hearts into 1-inch pieces then add them and your protein of choice to the bowl with the pasta.
Add the prepared dressing and toss to combine. Add the croutons (optional) and garnish with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
