Cook the pasta in salted water for 10-12 mins until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium pan. Add the sliced red onion and pepper and fry, stirring frequently for 10 mins until golden. Stir in the garlic, mild chilli powder, cumin seeds and ground coriander, then tip in the tinned cherry tomatoes, the corn and bouillon. Cover and simmer for 15 mins.

Step 2

Meanwhile, toss the avocado with lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of chilli flakes, if using.
