Preparation

Step 1

For the vinaigrette: Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a food processor and pulse to chop. Add the orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Process to a slightly chunky, relatively thick puree.

To assemble: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water.

In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta together with the arugula, olives, basil, mozzarella and the vinaigrette. Serve.
