Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion until transparent. Add garlic and sauté until soft, then the pancetta and cook until bubbling and transparent. Add the capers, mushrooms, olives, hot red pepper, anchovies, salt (use only a pinch because of the anchovies), ground black pepper and wine.
