Morels are my favorite! Remind of growing up in Missouri where we would hunt for them on our farm every spring. Sometimes we would find bread sacks full and Mom would make mushroom gravy and biscuits. What a fantastic meal this is!

This is hands-down one of my favorite kind of meals – pasta with seafood. And I love morels. You are so lucky to have gotten some. They are so hard to track down – even in season here. I have no doubt this was a delicious meal.
