How to Chop an Onion

Method

1. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, following packet instructions. Drain well and allow to cool.
2. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Combine all ingredients in a small food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Season to taste.
3. In a large bowl, combine drained pasta with tomatoes, bacon, rocket, onion and Parmesan. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
4. Place eggs on top. Spoon into a serving dish to serve.
Tip:
This salad can be made in advance, just leave the rocket leaves and dressing out until ready to serve.
