    Easy to make. Delicious! A family staple in our house. Even my teenager can (and does make this meal. When we have a hard time finding Arugula (which isn't oven, we've substituted Spinach - which is tasty too - just milder.

    I wanted to like it, really, i did. With all the rave reviews i was expecting too. But this dish was very disappointing. The meat was good, and that was about it. Maybe the arugula is an aquired taste, i dunno. Sauce wasnt up to my expectations either. Oh well, at least i tried! Wont be making this again though.

    This dressing is great. I made it for lunch tomorrow. I dressed the pasta, meat and put the arugula in a seperate container to mix tomorrow.

    This was a really good pasta dish!! The spinach added at the last minute made it wilt ever so slightly and it was still crisp and fresh. The steak was soo flavorful and tender. At the time when I made this, I had never tasted balsamic vinegar. It was a really good dressing. The steak would probably be good as a steak sandwich. I will definently make this again. Thanks Giada!

    This was a great lunch, and good leftovers. On the show, Giada didn't use all the dressing and left the remaining dressing on the side as an option. I should have done this. It was a bit tangy for me with the balsamic and dijon. I wonder if I had reduced the balsamic a little it might have cut that tanginess. It was actually my first time cooking steak indoors and I also seasoned the steak the night before which worked out great. She made it look so easy to cut perfect rectangular slices of steak but I found that I needed to strip off the tips and strip in order to have those uniform beautiful slices. This recipe is great for the application she used it for...a picnic immediately after she made it because it doesn't need to be hot or cold, and is best before it becomes a leftover. I'll use this recipe for just the steak in the future for other recipes, the flavor was great!

    Very flavorful and sensible dish. I used leftover steak from the grill so when I tossed it with the penne it warmed it up to the right temperature without sacrificing the medium rare center. Definitely a keeper recipe!
