Pennine with black olives and mushrooms

Inspired by the traditional italian recipe "Sedanini alle olive nere e funghi" from the italian region of Marche.

INGREDIENTS:

• extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 lb. of mixed fresh mushrooms (finely sliced)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 and 1/4 cups of pitted and chopped black olives
• 1 Ib. of small and tubular pasta (sedanini, pennine, maccheroni etc.)
• 1 cup of grated pecorino
• salt and cracked black pepper

PREPARATION:

Heat a little olive oil in a pan and sauté the mushrooms and garlic. As soon as they are cooked add the olives. Cook the pasta in lightly salted boiling water, drain, and toss with the "sauce". Add pecorino and serve.

Simple and very delicious! The better mushrooms and black olives you have the tastier the end result will be.

Enjoy!😉
