Rice w/ Lentil Soup, Salad and Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 large head green cabbage, shredded
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil.

2. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, olive oil, and cabbage; season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, about 15 minutes
3. Stir in the sausage and bow tie pasta; cook until completely heated, about 5 minutes more.
