Method

Step 1

Prepare spaghettini according to package directions. Measure out and reserve 1 cup (250 mL) pasta water before draining. Stir the mayonnaise with the lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, garlic, mustard, anchovy paste and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper until smooth; set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add chicken, salt and remaining pepper. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add broccoli and cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp.

Step 3

Add spaghettini, tomatoes, dressing mixture and cooking water to skillet. Toss until hot and saucy. Serve with lemon and crumbled croutons (if using).

Tip

s: • Replace the homemade Caesar dressing with 3/4 cup (175 mL) prepared, thick Caesar-style dressing. • Anchovy paste, sold in the refrigerated seafood aisle, adds that characteristic “Caesar” flavour to the dressing, but it can be omitted. • Add crumbled cooked bacon for an indulgent accent.
