This linguine dish is a great way to add Soppressata—a popular hard salami—to your weeknight dinner lineup.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces linguine, uncooked

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 ounces thinly sliced soppressata (Italian salami), torn into bite-size pieces

  • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 5 ounces arugula (10 loosely packed cups)

Directions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the soppressata and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel–lined plate. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the garlic and red pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, black pepper, ⅓ cup of the reserved cooking water, and the salt. Add the pasta and toss to combine.

  3. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl; add the arugula. Toss until the arugula wilts, adding more cooking water as needed. Top with the soppressata.
