Nothing like a good lentils and sausage recipe. Someone sent me a bunch of gluten-free New York Style link sausages during the holidays which I had frozen. I had contemplated what I should cook with them. I ended up making an Italian dish that is customarily served on New Year’s Day, lentils and sausage, which symbolizes prosperity for the upcoming year. With added seasonings and vegetables, it turned out very tasty! I have to say, this is one of newest favorite Italian recipes. You could even add more broth and make it a soup!
