Vincenzo Mazzei has put this recipe together for us. He has inherited his passion for cooking from his father Ugo, a long time hunter from Viareggio who now lives in Milan and runs his own eatery. Vincenzo, who has followed his father's footsteps, has dedicated his own version of the recipe to his mother Tosca.

Mince the garlic and put in hot oil. As the garlic turns color, add the salmon. Stir gently, slice the olives and add to the pan. Stir in the heavy cream. Add the tomatoes and the herbs. Add salt to taste.

This sauce is to go with "spaghetti al dente" cooked in plenty of salted water. Serve hot.
