Linguine Tapenade

Beautiful BC's Note:

Fast & easy prep and bursting with flavour. What can be better than that? Use fresh ingrediants for best results. Note - The red pepper flakes are listed as optional but do give it a try maybe starting with 1/4 tsp to start and add more to taste from there. They really do balance out the strong flavours in this recipe. .
