Coconut milk can be confusing. It comes in multiple, often similarly named iterations that are not the same thing and can be found in various aisles throughout the supermarket. Scott Suchman for The Washington Post; food styling by Lisa Cherkasky As a food writer and recipe developer (not to mention my household’s primary cook), I spend a lot of time at the grocery store. I have my routes through the store mostly mapped out, but there is one product that continues to confuse me: coconut milk.

By Leah KoenigUpdated on May 9, 2025In this bright spring pasta dish of morels and asparagus, dried morels are rehydrated in boiling water, then the water is used to cook the spaghetti—infusing it with an earthy, mushroomy flavor. If you can get your hands on fresh morels, this recipe is just as delectable made with the fleeting fungi—just skip straight to boiling the pasta in step 2. Either way, a simple sauce of cream, parmesan, and lemon allows the main ingredients to shine through.
