Sherry vinegar adds a nice mellow flavor, but you can substitute red or white wine vinegar in a pinch. If you're making this ahead, leave out the baby arugula until just before serving. Ingredients 12 ounces gemelli or other short pasta 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for cooking pasta 1 12-ounce bag frozen shelled edamame (about 2½ cups) 1 lemon, cut into wedges, seeds removed 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 5 ounces baby arugula 4 ounces crumbled feta (about 1 cup) ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts Directions Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions, adding edamame during the last 4 minutes of cooking.
