Place the paste in a medium bowl and top with the egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard and olive oil. Whisk well to combine.

    Drizzle the vegetable oil into the bowl whisking constantly until the dressing is thick and glossy. Fold in Parmesan cheese and taste, adding salt and pepper as needed. Dressing can be made up to 1 day before serving.
