Spiced Pork with Lemon Pasta - 78p per portion.

Hello Dear Reader,

I tried this very thrifty recipe for the first time and I had to share it with you; it's spicy, zesty and delicious. 

Ingredients - Serves 2/3

6 pork sausages (or similar amount of Sosmix or Quorn sausages) - £1 - Aldi
50g of pasta per person - 1p (I buy 10 500g bags for £1 from Approved Food)
100ml of chicken stock (or 1 chicken stock/vegetable stock cube and 100ml of boiling water) - 2p
zest and juice of 1 lemon - 23p - Aldi 
large pinch of chilli flakes/one chopped chilli/1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder - 1p
250ml of natural yoghurt - 30p - Aldi
1 small bunch of finely chopped parsley/2 tbsp of dried parsley - (I was given a bunch from Dad's garden)
salt and pepper to season

Total Cost -  per serving 78p per person.

Boil the water and add the pasta - leave to cook.
1. Remove the skins from the sausage and cut into small pieces.
2. Heat a non-stick pan with a teaspoon of oil.
3.Cook for 5 minutes or until browned all over.
4.Add the stock to the sausage meat and let bubble - stir for 2-3 minutes until liquid has reduced right down.
5. Add the lemon zest and juice, chilli flakes and yoghurt.(If it starts to separate - add a teaspoon of butter and stir through)
6. Drain the pasta and return to the pan.
7. Add the sausages and sauce, stir the parsley through the sauce and pasta.
8. Serve immediately. (This is very filling and I couldn't eat all this, hence my suggestion that this will feed three)

It's spicy and yet refreshing from the lemon juice and zest. The recipe is from "Good Housekeeping - Family Meals for a fiver" - I made it for a lot less than that! I'm a great believer in eating well, even on a budget. Let me know if you try this recipe as I think it's a real winner.

Until tomorrow,
