Our Creamy Broccoli Pasta with Anchovies recipe is a great way to get those super important omega-3 fatty acids into into your Paleo diet! This Paleo anchovy pasta salad isn’t actually made from grain pasta, rather, it’s made from slicing zucchini into noodles (zoodles) which is most easily accomplished using a vegetable spiralizer, but can also be done carefully with a knife or vegetable peeler. The flavor of this dairy-free anchovy salad is addicting and also tastes great with a squeeze of lemon on top at serving time.
