Description

Morels work so well with pasta, and make everything feel luxurious. We like to add some peas to this dish - for spring-like freshness - and a good shaving of spring white truffle. This dish is so easy to prepare and works just as well for a special occasion as it does for a weeknight. 

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes, adding the peas for the final minute.
  2. Heat the butter in a frying pan on a medium heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 2 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Add a splash of the pasta water and the garlic and cook for a minute more.
  4. Add the Parmesan and another splash of pasta water, stirring to emulsify. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  5. Drain the pasta and peas, reserving a little of the cooking water.
  6. Add the pasta and peas to the mushrooms, adding more pasta water if necessary - the pasta should be silky and coated in sauce.
  7. Shave plenty of spring white truffle on top.
