Ingredients

400g small pasta shapes
4-5 tbsp fresh pesto
1 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1/2 lemon, juiced
200g mixed cold veg (e.g. peas, green beans, courgettes, all chopped pea-sized)
100g cherry tomatoes, quartered
200g cooked chicken, ham, prawns, cheese or hard-boiled egg)

  1. Cook the pasta in boiling water until it is al dente, so about 11 mins, but refer to packet instructions. Drain and tip into a bowl. Stir in the pesto and leave to cool.

  2. When the pasta is cool, stir through the mayo, yoghurt, lemon juice, and veg. Spoon into lunch box or on to plates and put the cooked chicken or protein of your choice on top. Chill until ready to eat if intended for a packed lunch.
