Cooking steps

Cook the Pasta
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
  • When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 10-12 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and cool with cold water and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Get Prepped

  • Meanwhile, Quarter the cherry tomatoes.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways.
  • Trim and thinly slice the scallion. Finely chop the mint.
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Make the Dressing
3
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the tahini, yoghurt, Middle Eastern spice, garlic, sesame seeds and mint.
  • Loosen the dressing with a drizzle of oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, fry the bacon lardons until golden, 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
Divide and Serve
4
  • Toss the bacon, cooled pasta, chickpeas and veg with the dressing and divide between bowls. 
  • Crumble the Greek style chese over the top.
