Creamy Pumpkin Lentil Pasta

Hey friends,

Long time no post! Uni is just killing me these days. This dish is another no-groceries-at-home-throw-together. Once again I was just to damn lazy to go out to buy groceries, so I looked around what I had, and what I could make out of it.

In this dish I love how I’m embracing the essence of Tim Ferris in his book: “the 4 hour chef” in which he says, to try to combine ingredients that don’t seem to go together. In this case, I never thought this dish would be so yummy! I encourage you to try it out, you will be amazed!
