Dr Oz did a segment with Rachael Ray where she taught everyone how to make delicious, healthy, and budget-friendly recipes. One of the dishes was Rachael Ray’s Caesar Salad Pasta Dinner Recipe, which is a health version of the famous Rachael Ray’s You Won’t Be Single For Long penne a la vodka pasta dish that she made on Oprah’s show a long time ago. Rachael Ray promised Doctor Oz that it tastes just like a Caesar Salad, but it is even healthier (since it uses ingredients like kale) and it is a complete meal!

Rachael Ray’s Caesar Salad Pasta Recipe

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil) plus some for drizzling
6-8 anchovy fillets, drained
4 large garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Dr Oz: Rachael Ray Caesar Pasta Recipe
Directions:
1. Boil your pasta according to the directions on the box. You want a nice al dente pasta.
2. Drain the pasta but keep an extra cup of the starchy cooking liquid to temper the eggs later on.
3. Meanwhile, over medium-high heat, warm up a pan with olive oil (or EVOO like Rachel Ray likes to say!).
4. Add the anchovies to the pan and cook until they melt into the oil, which takes a couple of minutes. After this happens, the anchovies will not have a “fishy” taste.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add garlic into the pan.
6. Cook for a minute and then mix in the Worcestershire sauce.
7. Wilt the kale into the pan and add some nutmeg, lots of pepper and the fresh lemon juice.
8. Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl with a fork and add the warm starchy pasta water to help temper the egg yolks.
9. Turn the heat off and mix the pasta into the pan.
10. Toss in the eggs and half of the pecorino romano cheese into the pan for a minute.
11. Serve with olive oil drizzled on top and with a sprinkling of the cheese.
