Pasta lunch box ideas

We are bored with sandwiches!
Does anyone have any tips for pasta lunches?
No Tuna and no mayonnaise but otherwise veg, cheese and all flavours and spices are welcome?
I thought about making a tomato based sauce and adding peppers, feta cubes and raw red onion. I guess a batch would keep 2 or 3 days but then you would have the repetition.

Thanks. With the feta, tomato and cucumber do you just add raw to cooked pasta or is there any sauce?
Sausage is a good idea, do you make a BBQ sauce?

I generally add whatever bought dressing I have in, French usually.
I buy the sauce.
You Obvs could make something, but I'm lazy.

You did say no tuna. Chicken, avacado and bacon

French dressing is a good idea, or perhaps a flavoured olive oil.

AtleastitsnotMonday ooh that last one sounds delicious, and I have some chickpeas already soaking.
I'm going to write these down and experiment.
