Lentil and Sausage Pasta with Avocado Sauce Time: 25 minutes
1 1/2 cup cooked lentils cooked on Saturday, I use Lentils du Puy - the little green ones
1 1/4 cups bite-size pasta, farfalle, penne
1 avocado
1 tbs lemon juice
1/2 carton goat cheese, 1/3 cup (2.6oz, 75gr) half of Chevraux, Chavrie the little round
cardboard container, 5.3oz (150gr)
1 tbs snipped fresh basil 1 tbs snipped fresh parsley 1 tbs snipped fresh chives
4 - 6 sausages, depending on size, 10 oz total weight (300gr)
Cook pasta according to package directions. Remove lentils from fridge. Snip/chop all herbs. Cut avocado and remove pit. Put both halves of the avocado into a small bowl. Add lemon juice and mash with a fork or potato masher. When well mashed add goat cheese and mash together. Cook sausages on barbecue grill 10 - 15 minutes or until done (can also be sautéed in nonstick skillet - same amount of time). When pasta is done put it into a large bowl with lentils and herbs. Add mashed avocado/chevre and toss well to combine. When sausages are done, remove and slice in 1 inch (2.5cm) lengths. Add to pasta and toss well to combine. Serve.
