Preparation

30 mins

Low

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in salted water. Reserve 1 cup of water. In a pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the mushrooms and morels, then cover the pot. Cook for about five minutes and season with salt and pepper. Uncover and cook for another 10 minutes until they release their liquid. Add the white wine and let it cook for another 5 minutes until it reduces slightly. Finally, add the cream (the whipping kind) and let it thicken for a few minutes over low heat. If the sauce has reduced too much, add a few tablespoons of the water used to cook the pasta and season with salt and pepper. Return the pasta (already drained and dried) to the pot with the creamy sauce and mix well. Add the parmesan cheese and chives. Stir and serve.
