Recipe:
1. Boil a large pot of water, adding a pinch of salt. Once boiling, cook the pasta until ‘al dente’ (7-9 minutes).

3. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed.
4. Pour the dressing over the warm pasta, adding a bit of reserved pasta water to maintain moisture. Sprinkle in feta and gently toss the pasta.
5. Add peach slices, cherry tomatoes, corn, red onion, and arugula to the bowl. Toss the ingredients together, adjusting with more olive oil, lemon juice, salt, or pepper to taste.
