Fill the saucepan with about a liter and a half of water, add the pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
Cook the pasta
Add the 160 g of whole wheat pasta to the boiling water and cook for 10 to 12 min, stirring now and then.
Prep the tomato and corn
While the pasta cooks, dice the tomato. Put it in the mixing bowl with the 160 g of drained corn.
Make the vinaigrette
In the small bowl, mix 3 cl of olive oil (2 tablespoons), 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar (about 1.5 cl), the pepper and a little salt. You won't need the rest of the oil and vinegar.
Drain and dress
Drain the pasta, rinse it for 20 seconds under cold water to stop the cooking, then tip it into the mixing bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss.
Tip · Rinsing the pasta in cold water keeps it from sticking and from cooking any further, which is perfect for a salad.
Heat the poaching water
Fill the skillet with 3 cm to 4 cm of unsalted water and heat it over medium until it's barely simmering, no big bubbles. Crack each egg into a small bowl before sliding it in.
Tip · Crack each egg into a small bowl before sliding it in, and keep the water at a gentle simmer: big bubbles tear up the whites.
Poach the eggs
Gently slide the 4 eggs into the simmering water and cook for 3 to 4 min, until the whites are fully set. Lift them out with the slotted spoon and set them on paper towels.
Plate up
Divide the pasta salad between 2 plates. Set 2 whole poached eggs on each plate, don't cut them, then add some pepper.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
