Green goddess salad dressing is brimming with bright herbal flavor that we can’t get enough of. Instead of pouring it over greens, we are serving up this delicious sauce on tender orecchiette pasta. If you’d like to make this dish vegan, omit the anchovies and substitute with a ½ teaspoon of soy sauce.
