Maccheroni alla Chitarra con Tartufo dei Poveri

An interesting sauce wherein the ingredients (mushrooms, olives, anchovies, and chili flakes) are ground together in the food processor. The whole mass is fried in olive oil while the pasta cooks.

• Having no chitarra to cut the pasta, I made some regular tagliatelle, using Whole Wheat Pasta since I thought the earthy taste would go will with the shrooms. It did, but I think narrower pasta, fettucine maybe, would have been better.

• The sauce is fried in 4tbl of olive oil. I think a smidge less might be fine.

• 3+, Ed said, maybe not quite a 4.
