Method

Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 15 mins, add the sweetcorn for the final 5 mins of cooking. Drain into a colander or sieve, then run under a cold tap and leave to drip-dry for 2 mins before returning to the pan off the heat.
Mix the mayonnaise and freshly ground black pepper together until evenly combined, then mix through the spaghetti with the ham, pepper, cucumber and tomatoes.
