Sausage and Lentil Pasta Sauce

A rich and warming dish for winter nights is my dad’s Sausage and Lentil Pasta. Cooked with chorizo and tomatoes it’s a great healthy and tasty dish.

Sausage and Lentil Pasta is a hearty dish and one that has become incredibly popular in our house in the last few weeks. My dad is the creator of this dish and has been perfecting it regularly. It’s also tasty served with bread instead of pasta or served with rice. It’s a great versatile dish and we hope you enjoy it.

A new dish deserves a new pan

As an early christmas present the kitchenware company Horwood have given me a beautiful new Stellar non stick sautee pan. As well as beautifully shiny on the outside and made with a thick non stick layer but what I love most is the extra handle. Opposite the long handle is a smaller handle which makes it so easy to pick the pan the up and move it. I’m not very strong and I’m always worried I will drop pans when moving them from hob to serve up but now I feel so much more confident moving it. A small detail which can really make a difference.

As well as super non stick it’s also so quick to wash up. Two qualities I love more than anything when it comes to kitchenware. I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

As a family of left handers and right handers having the pouring lips on each size makes it lovingly multi-handed. The glass lid, with silicone rim, makes it easy to check on your food while it’s cooking.  Plus you know the silicone rim is sealing the pan but also not breaking the non stick coating.

What a Christmas present to receive for this foodie.
