Tagliatelle with Morel Mushrooms

Morel mushrooms are a gift of nature seldom found until recently. Popping up from the earth to greet us every year between April and June, these mushrooms are held amongst the finest alongside porcini, chanterelles, and even truffles. Until recent times the only way to get them was by foraging yourself or knowing a mushroom hunter. Now days mushroom enthusiasts and professionals have begun selling these amazing finds to local stores and vendors. The following recipe is a "pasta in bianco" which means a "white pasta", due to the sauce not imparting any color. Sauces of this type are reserved for only the finest ingredients, so that their true flavour can be enjoyed.
