  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       cl           Garlic -- finely minced
   2       tb           Olive oil -- extra virgin
   2                    Anchovies
   4                    Capers
   6                    Black olives -- sliced
   4                    Mushrooms -- sliced
   2                    Plum tomatoes -- largely diced
                        Italian herb -- blend to taste
   1       tb           Oregano
   1       tb           Red wine
                        Thick pasta -- like fettuccine

  A variation has been posted earlier but mine is the one which has
  earned me rave reviews.

  In a large skillet, saute garlic in the olive oil slowly until
  limp. Add herbs and saute until well mixed and blended. Add
  remaining ingredients slowly and over a medium-low Heat. Add the
  wine last. Cook the pasta to al dente and then coat with a dash of
  additional olive oil. Gently fold the mixture until blended and
  then serve immediately. Serve with a dark green salad and a good
  red wine. An sprinkle of romano & parmesan cheese enhances the
  dish. Even my husband likes this recipe!
