Method
- Cook the pasta to pack instructions. Reserve a little cooking water, then drain; let the pasta cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, mix together the mayo, crème fraîche, mustard and lemon juice. Season and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooked pasta with the dressing, then stir in the remaining ingredients, adding a splash of cooking water to loosen, if needed. Serve at room temperature.
- Tip: Any leftover protein works here – try roast pork, sausages or even roasted veg.
