1. Bring a pan of water to the boil for the pasta and salt it once it boils; in a separate small pan bring water to the boil for the egg.
2. Meanwhile wash the green beans, top and tail them and cut into roughly 3 cm pieces.
3. Add the wholemeal pasta and cook for the time on the packet, usually 10–12 minutes; add the green beans for the last 7 minutes so they cook until tender but firm. Drain everything and cool under cold water, then drain well.
4. Meanwhile lower the egg into the small pan with a spoon and cook for 9 minutes over medium heat, until hard-boiled; cool it in cold water, peel and cut into wedges.
5. Wash the cherry tomatoes and quarter them; drain the tuna.
6. In a bowl toss the pasta, beans, tomatoes, tuna and black olives with the olive oil and a pinch of salt; top with the egg wedges.
