Lentil pasta with curd cheese brings pasta made from lentils together with lor, a mild, fresh Turkish whey cheese. Lor has a soft, slightly crumbly texture and a gentle flavour; it is not quite the same as ricotta, though the two can be used in similar ways. This is a simple combination rather than a dish with one fixed recipe.
Toss the cheese through warm pasta and season with black pepper or fresh herbs for an easy lunch or supper. A crisp salad makes a good accompaniment, while a little olive oil keeps the dish from feeling dry. Lentils and cheese give it a notably protein-rich, fibre-containing profile; add vegetables for extra colour and freshness.
