Chicken legs with ceps (or morels)
================================== 2018-08-xx



Inspired from: Cuisses de Poulet aux Morilles

Comment: Cook the pasta according to the method of 100:10:1, that is to say for 100 g of pasta, use 10- g of salt and 1 liter of water. Although it is not very important, it is better to salt the water at the beginning. No need to put oil in the cooking water, just stir occasionally during cooking. Finally, once the pasta is drained, stir in a little splash of EVOO so they do not stick, then serve with the sauce. If using morels, wash them carefully after having soaked them since they often contain sand.
