directions

  • Boil the pasta 7-9 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • Mix all remaining ingredients with the pasta.
  • Chill until ready to serve. Add more mayo if needed and mix one more time just before serving.
  • Note: Arugula is strong and peppery tasting. If you prefer a milder and more tender texture, substitute fresh baby spinach. Cottage Living calls for Penne pasta, but I like rotini. Any pasta that will "grab" the mayo will work. Bowtie pasta would look lovely in this dish.

  1. Easy recipe. I added poached chicken breast, that I poached in rosemary, thyme and chicken stock. Also, I forgot to buy smoked gouda. So, I added to the top of the salad as I served it, Manchega cheese. This recipe would be wonderful with shrimp.
