Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Quarter lemon. • Heat a large dry pan over high heat. Add salami and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
• Combine cream sauce base, garlic powder, and 1 1⁄2 cups water (3 cups for 4 servings) in pan used for salami over high heat. Bring to a boil, then add fettuccine (gently pulling the noodles apart with your hands first). Stir to combine, then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring frequently, until noodles are tender, 5-7 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add splashes of water as needed. • Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• While pasta cooks, in a large bowl, whisk together 11⁄2 TBSP olive oil, 1⁄4 tsp sugar, juice from one lemon wedge, a pinch of salt, and pepper (3 TBSP olive oil, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, and juice from two lemon wedges for 4 servings). Add arugula and Parmesan; toss to combine. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and another squeeze of lemon juice if desired. • Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Top with salami and as many chili flakes as you like. Divide salad between plates or bowls. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Some loved the creamy garlic sauce, while others found it bland; the crispy salami was divisive, with many finding it too salty.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make in one pan, though some struggled with noodles sticking together or overcooking.
- Suggestions: Consider adding fresh herbs, vegetables, or chicken for more flavor; reduce salami cooking time to avoid burning.
- Leftovers: Noodles became mushy when reheated; best eaten fresh on the day it's prepared.
- Portions: Several found the serving size too small, especially for the pasta and salami.
