Pasta Don Carlos

Recipe from Salamandre Wine Cellars, first shared on Web Winery in 2001. No longer trading

Fusilli with a sauce of crisp garlic and onion, toasted pine nuts, capers, olives, mushrooms and sun-dried tomato, finished with prosciutto and basil. Salamandre said it shares some flavors with puttanesca, without the tomato taking over.
