Pasta with Morels and Peas
This one is a bit decadent but for that special occasion it certainly fits the bill. You can find the morels in a specialty market such as Whole Foods. Don’t be put off by the price, as you will only be using 1 oz, still pricy but this is a special occasion, right? Making the pasta is easy but if you wish you can buy it instead. The whole meal comes together rather quickly and is very, very good.
Add a tart salad, some crunchy bread and a glass or three of wine. Perfect!
