Dressing

• 1 egg

Method

Cook the pasta and drain. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, add the oil and chicken and cook until golden and cooked through. Cool slightly then shred.

To make the dressing, process the eggs, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor. While running, slowly pour in the vegetable oil. Stir through the basil.

Combine the chicken with the spinach leaves, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and pasta. Toss through the dressing and serve with crusty bread. Serves 4.
