Anchovy pasta salad

Anchovy pasta salad (serves 3)

For this dish, as the name suggests, the anchovy paste plays a major role in the taste of the salad. I found it to be very appetising. 



Ingredients:

1.5 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of mustard
2 teaspoons of anchovy paste
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
4 teaspoons of olive oil
100g of penne rigate
140g of butterhead lettuce
140g of iceberg lettuce
Parmesan cheese


Instructions:

1) Boil a pot of well-salted water. When it boils, put the penne rigate in and let it boil according to the instructions on the pasta packet.

2) Rinse the pasta under cold water, then drain.

3) Tear the butterhead lettuce and iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces, and put in a large mixing bowl. Add the pasta in.

4) Mix the lemon juice, anchovy paste, mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl. 

5) Add the mixture into the mixing bowl and mix well. Grate some cheese in and mix well.

6) Season with a bit of salt and pepper,  then serve.


Many of the ingredients above can be substituted easily. The penne rigate can be changed to farfalle, and romaine lettuce can be used instead of butterhead and/or iceberg lettuce. The cheese can also be changed to any other kind of cheese, as long as it is freshly grated.
