Soy Sauce Pasta Dough (and other experiments?)

Just my opinion:

It seems to me that taste is experienced by contact with taste sensors on your tongue. If you mix expensive morel powder into the pasta dough, at least 50% of the morel powder buried inside the dough never touches you taste sensors. 

Would it be better to use the powder to make sauce?

Same thinking with soy sauce in pasta dough. Huge amount of salt eaten that has nothing to do with taste.

The morels were not expensive for the poster since they were a gift.  When I receive a gift of an ingredient that I often could not afford to buy very often myself I try to honour the gift by doing something a little bit challenging with it.   Not all experiments work of course. YMMV

Yes it was a gift. Quite a bit of them. My wife and kids won't touch any kind of mushroom so, that's what I did think up. It was pretty good.  Had I thought about putting the powder in the sauce I would have.

My latest experiment: Powdered Wakame in the dough... 

 

Have tried it with bottarga, went well.
