Ingredients:





     8 oz Pasta with shape (e.g.,


          -penne or spirals)


     1    Lemon


     1    Avocado


     1    80g pkg Boursin with herbs


 1 1/2 dl Koffieroom


    50 g  Achterham


   1/2    Bakje tuinkers


          Salt and freshly ground


          -pepper; to taste






 Translations: "achterham" is a nice sliced lunchmeat-type ham. For a


 vegetarian dinner, omit this; or, maybe, replace with mushrooms.


 


 "tuinkers". Hmmm...I really don't know the English name for this, or recall


 seeing anything similar. It's in the cress family, but smaller-leaved than


 watercress. You buy a little box (the bakje) that is filled with a


 sponge-like block. The tuinkers are sprouting from that, maybe one inch


 high. You take you kitchen shears or a knife and cut off what you want.

 could use some kind of sprouts, maybe mixed, with radish sprouts included


 for the peppery taste.


 


 Peel the avocado and remove the seed. Cut into chunks and place in food


 processor (or blender).


 


 Wash the lemon. Into the processor, finely grate half the peel, avoiding


 the white part. Add the juice from half the lemon to the processor (other


 half not used).


 


 Add the Boursin and koffieroom to the processor. Whiz till smooth.


 


 Pour into a small saucepan. Warm over low heat from about 10 minutes.


 


 Meanwhile, cut the ham into strips. Cut the tunikers from their bed. Stir


 into sauce. Add S& to taste.


 


 Serve over a shaped pasta. Penne was good, but maybe try something a bit


 smaller.
