- 1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Using the back of a knife or a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic into a paste.
Step 2
Chop the anchovy fillets finely and mash them with the back of a knife until they form a paste.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, anchovy paste, egg yolks, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Step 4
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to create a creamy emulsion. Go slowly to prevent the mixture from separating.
Step 5
Whisk in the lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until combined and smooth.
Step 6
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding a pinch more salt, black pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
