Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente.
Heat a drop of olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the chorizo until crisp.
Add the tomatoes, chilli flakes and balsamic vinegar. Cook briefly until the tomatoes are starting to break down. Drain the pasta, return to the pan and add the chorizo mixture, along with the tapenade and freshly ground black pepper.
Toss together until everything is mixed. Leave to cool, then add the rocket leaves and transfer to a couple of sandwich boxes.
Keep in the fridge until needed, and give everything a mix before eating.
