Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, or until slightly past al dente. 2 Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, chives, herbes de Provence, red pepper flakes, and salt. (Note: the dressing will have a strong flavor, it’ll mellow once it coats all of the pasta salad ingredients). 3 Drain the pasta, toss it with a little olive oil (so that it doesn’t stick together) and let it cool to room temp.

Season to taste with more lemon, salt, pepper, and/or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired, and serve.
