- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound fresh lamb sausage*, cut into 1-inch pieces

- Ground pepper, to taste
- 3/4 pound dried farfalle pasta
- 3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Method
In a medium saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in the olive oil.
Add sausage pieces and brown them, breaking up the pieces slightly.
Add tomatoes and tomato sauce and simmer on very low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions.
Drain pasta thoroughly, then toss with half of the sauce.
