Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Place a large pan of water onto the stove and bring to a boil (or use the kettle!). Season with salt and drop in the dried pasta. Cook according to the packet instructions.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, chop the red onion (if using), the cucumber, tomatoes and red pepper, slice the radishes and chop the dill.

Step 3

Drain the pasta well before stirring through the sundried tomato paste or pesto.

Step 4

Mix with all the chopped ingredients, the drained chickpeas and crumble in the feta. Taste for seasoning. It's unlikely you will need salt, but you will need pepper. Serve warm, or cold for a quick WFH lunch or easy dinner.
