Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. Dried Morels
  • 1 12 oz. can carrot juice
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. fresh tarragon, finely chopped, or 1/4 tsp. dried
  • 1/8 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 tsp. white wine vinegar
  • 8 oz. asparagus
  • 1-2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 oz. morels, sliced length wise
  • 8 oz. penne or gemelli, cooked

Directions:
For carrot butter, in a food processor or blender process dried morels until they're a fine powder. In a medium saucepan heat juice, shallots, tarragon, allspice, and ground morels to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer rapidly, uncovered, until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup. Whisk in butter, a tablespoon at a time; remove from heat. Whisk in vinegar; season to taste with salt and pepper.
For pasta, first cut asparagus into 3-inch lengths. In a medium skillet sauti asparagus in oil until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add morels; sauti until tender, 5 minutes.
Toss pasta with carrot butter; spoon onto serving plates. Top each with morels and asparagus; toss slightly.

Makes 4 servings.
