Spaghetti with Olives and Mushrooms

Its rare. But occasionally I come across a recipe that just isn't good. And isn't at all what I expected. This is just that recipe. I'm posting it because you may like it. You never know.

Spaghetti with Olives and Mushrooms
(The title sounds good, doesn't it?)

  • 1 T Olive Oil
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped (yah right. I used a couple)
  • 8 oz mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 c black olives, pitted
  • 2 T chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 red chili seeded and chopped
  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • Parmesan cheese shavings

Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Place the mushrooms in a blender or food processor with the olives, parsley and red chili. Blend until smooth.

Cook pasta. Add the olive mixture and toss together until pasta is well coated. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

  1. Seems like there isn't enough garlic, chili or olive oil for a whole pound of spaghetti - is that the problem?
