  • Cherry tomatoes200 g
  • Cucumber150 g

Method

  1. Cook the pasta until just tender, drain it, and rinse under cold water until it is completely cool.
  2. Toss the cold pasta with the olive oil so it does not clump in the fridge.
  3. Drain the sweetcorn, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the cucumber and cheese into small cubes.
  4. Fold everything together with a squeeze of lemon and season well — cold food needs more salt than hot.
  5. Keep it in a container in the fridge and spoon a portion into the lunchbox each morning.
