1. Prepare the base: In a bowl, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Whisk to integrate.

2. Activate the anchovy: Stir in the mashed anchovy fillets and let sit for sixty seconds.

3. Initiate the Drip: Whisking vigorously, add the extra virgin olive oil drop by drop until the mixture visibly thickens.

4. Stabilize and Expand: Switch to a slow, steady stream of the neutral-flavored oil, continuing to whisk until fully absorbed.

5. Finish the Sauce: Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the dressing is thick and creamy.

6. Adjust and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice before serving.

Use room temperature ingredients for the most stable emulsion.

If the dressing breaks, slowly whisk the broken mixture into a clean bowl containing 1 tsp of boiling water to re-emulsify.

Store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
