Sausage & Squash with Ginger & Lentils

This Sausage & Squash recipe was in part inspired by my Mother who loves eating way more than “five a day” when it comes to vegetables. Perhaps that’s why she’s still playing golf in her nineties! A filling, nutritious and tasty one pot supper dish, perfect for family and friends.
