When living in the Yukon, the restaurant I was working in had an abundance of morrel mushrooms. I had never tried them before and I was excited! After a bit of bargaining with the kitchen, I snagged a nice bagful. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I went home that night and started rolling out some pasta. The richness of the egg yolk cream sauce make this recipe really decadent, perfect for a special occasion, or a special ingredient. If you don't have morrels, just use the best

1 small onion (finely chopped)
½ pound morrel mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
