Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until frothy.
Gradually pour in the olive oil while whisking vigorously until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the anchovy paste, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cracked black pepper. Adjust salt to taste. Set the dressing aside.

Using freshly grated Parmesan enhances the flavor of the dressing significantly.
