-
Boil the water. Bring water to a boil in a pot or an electric kettle.

Drain the pasta. Drain the cooked pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer it to a large bowl.
-
Mix the salad. To the bowl with the pasta add the tomatoes, arugula and mozzarella. Add the pesto and olive oil and toss everything gently but thoroughly. If you want a more pronounced flavor, add a few drops of lemon juice or a good quality vinegar.
