But you can substitute leeks for the ramps; and if morels aren't available, use stemmed shiitake, cremini and/or button mushrooms.

Return to heat and cook for 1 minute. Add cream and stock. Cook and stir occasionally for 6 to 8 minutes until sauce coats the back of a wooden spoon. Return morels to skillet with peas and thyme. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until peas are just tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted water cook linguine according to package directions; drain. Return to pot over low heat with sauce and parsley. Toss until well-combined. Transfer to serving bowl.
