Prodigious Protein Pasta

Wouldn't it be good to have a vegetarian alternative to meat-sauce full of proteins and tasty as ever - this Sauce is as good with pasta as with rice, bulgur or couscous. -NOT only for vegetarians; but for everybody. Many scientists agree that at least one vegetarian meal a week would do many, many people good and additionally it is good for the environment. This; for those of you who do not know, is because an animal only saves 15% of what it eats. Thus if it eats one kilogram of meat (I know pigs and alike don't eat meat; this is just an example); when you slaughter it, you will only have 150 grammes of meat left. It would then have been better to just eat the pig's food, you might think, and yes that's the idea of being a vegetarian (to many). So basically vegetarians eat the pig's food and can thus eat one kilogram of food when a meat-eater eats 150 grammes of food.

Found this marvellous recipe, edited it and tried it... One word; Terrific...

1/2 a decilitre of chopped leek
1/2 decilitre of lentils
1 decilitre of water

Pour these ingredients into a casserole and let simmer until the lentils are soft and creamy. Should take about 7 minutes. Put the cooked leek-lentils in a bowl (size does not matter).

Snake some oil into the unwashed casserole - be generous. Add 1,5 - 2 decilitres of shredded carrots. Let fry - stir meanwhile. After a few minutes; 2 mayhap (when the carrots have a yellowish colour to them - They shall not be entirely yellow; mostly orange but somewhat yellowish) Pour the leek-lentils into the casserole. Add also 2 decilitres of milk, one vegetable stock and two generous teaspoons of curd cheese. Never stop stirring after you've added the milk (you don't want it to burn). Let the mixture simmer for about 1-3 minutes. (depending on how well fried your carrots are and how hard your lentils are) Thereafter, Add some potato or corn starch premixed with water. When the sauce is creamy - remove from the heat and serve with pasta, rice, bulgur or couscous. If you start boiling pasta, rice... when you start to boil the lentils it should be done at about the same time as the sauce.
