Morels are the supreme springtime mushrooms. They are easiest to clean if you halve them lengthwise; leaving them whole is more attractive, but you must be extra diligent when cleaning them.

Ingredients

1 lb  (500 g)  linguini, spaghetti or other long pasta
1-1/2 tbsp  (22 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz  (250 g)  morel mushrooms, whole or halved, or 12 oz/375 g cremini, shiitake or other mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  white vermouth or wine
3/4 tsp  (4 mL)  salt
1 large bunch arugula, chopped
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  butter
Grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserving 1/2 cup/125 mL of the water, drain.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry shallots and garlic until garlic just begins to turn light golden, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add vermouth and salt; cook until liquid is reduced by half.

Add reserved water, pasta, arugula and butter; cook until arugula is wilted, butter is melted and liquid no longer pools in bottom of pan. Serve with cheese on side.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
