Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 4 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
    2. 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    3. 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    4. 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
    5. 2 tablespoons finely chopped oregano
    6. Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
    7. 2 medium bunches of arugula, large stems discarded (4 packed cups)
    8. 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
    9. Salt
    10. 3/4 pound angel-hair pasta
    11. 1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino cheese, plus more for serving
    12. Freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the red wine and balsamic vinegars. Stir in the oregano and lemon zest and set the arugula on top.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shallots. Season with salt and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  3. Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente. Drain and add to the serving bowl with the shallots and 1/4 cup of Pecorino. Toss and season with salt and pepper. Serve with additional Pecorino.
