1 MOREL MUSHROOMS
Hollow with honeycomb-like pitted caps, these mushrooms are different from the ones you're likely used to eating. When buying morels, seek out firm, plump specimens. Store them, unwashed, in a paper bag in the refrigerator for no more than a couple of days. Clean them right before using: Swish quickly in water, or wipe gently with a damp paper towel.
Pasta with Morel-and-Pea Cream Sauce Morel mushrooms seem almost otherworldly; they have porous, spongy caps that generously soak up any surrounding flavors. Here, they absorb the creamy sauce with shallot-infused butter, fortified wine, and the soft anise notes of tarragon.
If you can't find morels at the farmers' market, feel free to substitute a mix of wild or cremini mushrooms from the grocery store; regular chives can stand in for garlic chives. Casarecce noodles are about an inch long; you can swap them out for any short, tubular pasta, such as penne or cavatappi.
