Tomato and Arugula Pasta Salad

4.8
5 ratings
Deliciously easy and packed with fresh tomatoes and arugula. Real balsamic vinegar adds the perfect burst of flavor! Of course, this dish can also be made with a standard balsamic vinegar. But we recommend using a bottle of real Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale of the Reggio Emilia or Moderna regions of Italy.
