Ingredients
Salad
- 375 g pasta I used spiral
- 2 romaine lettuce washed, dried and chopped, aka cos lettuce hearts
- 3 lices sourdough bread torn into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 garlic crushed, clove
- Parmesan Cheese for garnish, shaved
Dressing
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- 1 small garlic core removed and crushed, clove
- 2 anchovy fillet see my notes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated fresh
- 4 tablespoons milk as needed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package directions + 2 minutes.
- Drain pasta, rinse under cold water then allow to dry and cool fully.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a small frying pan.
- Add in the pieces of bread and fry until golden brown, add in crushed garlic 30 seconds before switching off the heat then remove to a plate.
- To make the dressing, place the dressing ingredients (start with 3 tablespoons of milk) in a small food processor, and process until smooth, adding more milk as necessary.
- In a large bowl combine pasta, cos lettuce and croutons.
- Add dressing then toss gently to combine.
- Tip into a serving bowl, garnish with shaved parmesan cheese and serve.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- Use anchovies packed in oil - if you don't want to use anchovies you will need to add more salt.
- Salad is best eaten just after you add the dressing. The lettuce will begin to wilt fairly quickly and the croutons will start to soften and soak up the dressing.
- The dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a bit of a whisk before adding it.
