I do not remember where I got this recipe, but I was intrigued when I saw this. It took me a while to try it, but I was so very glad I did. It's garlicky, cheesy and the romaine gives it a bit of crunch.

How To Make caesar salad pasta
-
Step 1Place chopped romaine in a large heat proof bowl.
-
Step 2While pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil and garlic in a small saute pan, over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add lemon zest and mix well.
-
Step 3Add lemon mixture and pepper to drained pasta and toss well.
-
Step 4Add pasta to romaine, top with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and toss. (Or place parmesan and bread crumbs in individual bowls and serve yourself)
-
Step 5Note: Homemade toasted breadcrumbs Toast several pieces of bread (Make extra at breakfast) and allow to set out 2-3 hours so it dries out completely. Tear into pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse until desired crumb is achieved. (No need to toast the breadcrumbs in the oven, it's already toasted!)
