1. 1

   1. Start with boiling the pasta. I leave it al dente.

   2. Then start prepping all the other ingredients. Drain the tuna, fry the bacon untill they are crispy and let them drain on a piece of kitchen paper. Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan untill they are golden brown. Slice the spring onions, and dice the pickles and the pepper.

   3. Then make the dressing: combine the buttermilk and the mayonnaise with the chopped dill and flatleaf parsley. Add the paprika and turmeric and mix well. Then season to taste. Make this dressing your own by adding spices that you love and keep tasting untill you have completed the perfect mixture. The buttermilk makes it very fresh and less fatty.

   6. I usually make some more dressing afterwards to serve with the pasta in case it becomes dry. Serve the pine nuts on the side, so they don' t get too wet.
