It was a toss up between this recipe and buffalo chicken risotto....and this won, at least for this round. Tough choice, but definitely amazing. The directions for this is a little different than the original, but I'm going with it. I don't stray that much from original - I do things like not skewer the shrimp and croutons, but just grill them on an indoor grill. No worries, just go with it.
Cuisine Tonight
Boil:
8 oz dry linguine (I used rotini because I think it's easier to eat than linguine)
Melt:
2 T unsalted butter
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 diced shallots
1 can anchovy fillets in oil, minced (2 oz.) - btw, no one at my dinner party had any idea these were in there and LOVED the dish so don't skip them, just don't tell anyone before they eat what's in the dish.
3 T minced garlic
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 T minced lemon zest
2 t Worcestershire sauce
1/2 - 1 t red pepper flakes (I used 1 t)
Off Heat, toss:
8 c chopped romaine lettuce
1/4 c grated Parmesan
Salt and black pepper to taste ( I never added these and it was delicious )
Boil:
Pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Melt:
butter with oil in saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots and anchovies and melt, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, zest, Worcestershire, and pepper flakes. Toss pasta with sauce to coat.
