-Any type of pasta

-Fresh pepper or/and onion (Chopped in thin slices)

-Fresh hot (green or red) pepper (any type) or Boukovo (?) (Boukovo is the result of crumbling dried red hot peppers)

-400 gr. Fresh mushrooms (chopped in thin slices) or 240 gr (drained) canned ones

Alternative
If you haven't got any mushrooms or even onion or fresh peppers you can use sliced ham, or bacon to give extra taste to the sauce!

Method

1. Put some funy/joyful music on your stereo system! Remember Cooking means to have FUN!
2. Cook any type of pasta (spaghettini, linguini, penne, farfale, pennette, fusilli, rigatoni etc) in the way I advise you in the blog entry "Boiling Pasta Secret"
3. In a saucepan, saute the chopped onions, fresh (non-hot) peppers, fresh hot peppers and mushrooms, until they get shrinked and red (not black which means that they are carbonized he he..)
