How to Make Fresh Tomato Pasta

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, bring 2 gallons of water to a boil.

  2. Step 2

    In a large serving bowl, add tomatoes. Tear arugula and basil into small pieces. Add to the bowl. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic.

  3. Step 3

    With a vegetable peeler, shave thick slices of cheese and add to serving bowl. Grate the cheese that is too small to shave and reserve for garnish. Toss well.
