1
If using dried morels, place in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit 20 minutes. Drain and gently squeeze out any extra liquid. Cut in half lengthwise and set aside.
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and blanch until crisp-tender and bright green, without overcooking, 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and refresh under cold water. Set aside on kitchen towels and blot dry.
3
Add linguine to same pot and cook until al dente according to package instructions; drain.

Heat oil and melt butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, morels and 1 teaspoon salt. Saute until garlic is fragrant and morels are tender, 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and cream. Simmer until thickened and reduced by about half, 5-7 minutes. Stir in asparagus pieces and fava beans and heat through. Add pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve with a generous sprinkling of grated cheese.
