1 pound good quality bacon
About 1/4 cup grated onion and its juice
1 clove garlic, grated or pasted
1 rounded tablespoon Dijon mustard
About 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • While the pasta cooks, add the grated onion, garlic, Dijon, and vinegar to a mixing bowl. Whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil and season with lots of salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Add the pasta, chopped eggs, pimiento, parsley, and chopped crisp bacon pieces. Toss to combine and serve.
