Add lots of water and salt to a pot, allow to boil, then toss in the pasta and cook according to the package directions. When cooked, drain, rinse and cool slightly.
If you’re using a food processor, install the “S” blade, place the herbs inside and blitz until they’re minced – but do not over blitz into an herby paste! Alternatively, you can chop them with your knife until minced.
Dice the cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion.
