Preparation

Cook the pasta in a boiling pot for about 8 minutes. Drain it al dente and set aside. Meanwhile, slice the purple cabbage into thin strips and mix the oil, vinegar, cumin seeds, and salt in a container. Add the purple cabbage to the container and let it marinate for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, clean and cut the broccoli into small pieces, blanch them for about 5 minutes, and drain them. Open a jar and add all the ingredients: pasta, broccoli, marinated purple cabbage, beans, corn, and a drizzle of oil. Close the jar and take it to work the next day.

PS: You can also prepare the jarred lunch a few days in advance and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
