You know pasta salad, but this is salad pasta. A whole salad's worth of greens, folded into pasta to make a complete dinner in one bowl (or plate). We like to make this recipe with chickpea pasta for the added protein, and the garlicky anchovy sauce complements it especially well.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2.2-oz.) can oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 head of garlic, cloves separated, thinly sliced
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb. penne pasta
Kosher salt
3 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 head of radicchio, trimmed, quartered, leaves separated
1 (5-oz.) package baby arugula
1 cup basil leaves, torn if large
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine anchovies, garlic, oil, and red pepper flakes in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until anchovies have disintegrated into oil and garlic is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
  • Remove skillet with anchovy mixture from heat and stir in butter and lemon juice until butter is melted. Add pasta and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid and stir constantly until a thick glossy sauce forms, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed.
  • Place radicchio in a large bowl. Add pasta and sauce and toss to coat, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed. Add arugula and basil but don't toss; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Divide pasta among plates or bowls, very gently tossing so arugula gets coated in sauce but doesn't wilt too much.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was still delicious!
