Farfalle With Lamb Sausage, Feta & Mint

This is rich and delicious, but not too heavy. My whole family loves it! I use some pureed carrots to sweeten the sauce a bit. If it suits your taste and you don't have those available, you can put a teaspoon or two of sugar in if you like. If you can't find lamb sausage, you can use ground lamb mixed with lamb sausage seasoning (typically fennel, mint, garlic, salt and pepper).
