Note

• - A good thing would be to use fresh egg fettuccine but you can also use dried ones.
• - We didn't use butter and garlic and we prepared the sauce in a different way. In fact we made only one sauce. We increased the olive oil quantity to 12 tablespoons. In a saucepan we put oil, onion, mushrooms, chicken livers, puréed tomatoes, wine and we added some aromatic herbs (4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 teaspoons dried laurel, 2 teaspoons dried marjoram). We seasoned to taste with salt and cooked half-covered, over a medium heat, for about 15-20 minutes or until reduced..
