Ingredients
- 250 g (~ 1/2 lb) uncooked pasta (or 500g / ~ 1 lb cooked pasta)
- 130 g (~ 4 1/2 oz / ~ 1/2 cup) fresh basil pesto
- 400 g tin chickpeas, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 100 g (~ 1/2 cup) tinned sweetcorn
- 100 g (~ 3 1/2 oz) feta cheese, roughly crumbled
- 125 g (~ 4 1/2 oz) good quality cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 50 g (~ 1/3 cup) black olives, whole or sliced
- 60 g (~ 2 oz) fresh rocket (arugula)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Boil the pasta in plenty of water until cooked al dente, then drain. Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove any starch - this helps to avoid clumping.
- Add the pesto to the cooked pasta, and mix thoroughly.
- Add the remaining ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine. Serve chilled.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an air-tight tub in the fridge for up to 3 days.
