This pasta salad is a fun twist on the traditional Caesar Salad. The addition of Penne pasta makes it more filling without changing the flavor of the salad.

The thing that makes this Caesar Pasta Salad so delicious is the dressing. The dressing is easy and only takes about 10 minutes to put together.

It’s creamy base of mayo and sour cream and has so much more flavor than anything you can get from a bottle.

If you looked through the recipe before you read this post you probably saw that one of the ingredients is anchovy paste. If you are like me then you probably wrinkled your nose and thought no way I’m buying anchovy paste. But, in the end I picked up a tube and I’m glad I did.

Caesar Pasta Salad HeroThe anchovies gave the salad a little savory flavor that I really enjoyed. If you don’t want to use anchovies I recommend adding a couple extra dashes of Worcestershire sauce add a little smokey flavor to the dressing.

Adding a couple of shredded or diced chicken breasts will take this salad from side dish to entree in a matter of minutes.
