   8      qt            Water
   1      tb            Salt
   6      tb            Olive oil
   1      cl            Garlic
   5      cl            Garlic -- minced
   1      lb            Fettucine
     1/2  lb            Fresh mushrooms -- sliced
     1/4  c             Pecans or walnuts --
                        - coarsely chopped
     1/4  c             Parsley -- chopped
   1                    Can black olives -- sliced
   2                    Pimentoes -- pickle sliced
                        Romano cheese -- grated

Bring water and salt to boil in a large pot. Add 1 tb olive oil and
whole garlic clove. This keeps pasta from sticking and adds flavor.
Add pasta and boil, according to package directions, stirring
occasionally.

Saute minced garlic until soft in olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook 2 to 3 minutes until soft. Remove from
heat and add nuts, parsley, olives, pimientos. Mix well. Drain pasta
and return to pot. Add olive oil mixture and toss pasta. Serve warm
with grated Romano cheese sprinkled over top.
