mixed bag pasta sauce

Most of the early recipes that were thought good enough to record, but which did not have time for some inspired little chatter about them, were mercilessly deleted in 2002. A few survived by chance, who knows why. This one sounds fun.

1 onion

4 garlic cloves, pressed

2 T olive oil

10 oz sliced white mushrooms

1 shaved carrot (or 1/2)

1/3 c sliced olives

5 or 6 plum tomatoes, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

cayenne red pepper to taste

red pepper flakes to taste

1/3 c light cream

2/3 c grated romano cheese (we were out of parmigiano?)

1 lb orrecchiette or farfalle or ...
