Serving

1 lb dried gemelli or fusilli
2 large garlic cloves
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1/2 lb lightly salted bocconcini mozzarella (see note, above)
1/2 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp red-wine vinegar , or to taste
1 cup packed small arugula leaves
