When the morels hit in spring, it is a joyous time at Barbuto. Morels are extraordinary. They are rich, flavorful, nutritious, and almost meat-like when cooked properly. They match perfectly with their garden cousins the asparagus. The pesto brings these two in perfect harmony and the hazelnuts are the crunch that adds that extra lagniappe.
