Method
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 mins or until crisp and golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towel.
Step 3
To make the creamy dressing, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise and mustard in a jug. Stir in 1 tbs water, adding a little more if needed. Season.
Step 4
Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl with the lettuce, tomato, spring onion and chives. Drizzle over some dressing and toss to combine. Top with the avocado and bacon and serve with remaining dressing.
