OLIVE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE
 
1/4 c. olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced

In a large skillet combine oil, garlic, hot pepper. Cook until garlic is soft, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, olives, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Increase the heat to moderately high and simmer until juices thicken to form a sauce, about 15 minutes.
