Spiced Pork and Lemon Pasta

On Thursday night I went to my oldest friends house for dinner. Its not often other people cook for me, other than in restaurants, so it was a lovely treat. I've know her for nearly 21 years which is not bad considering I'm only 24! It was lovely to have a catch up and a chat with her. She cooked this Spiced Pork and Lemon Pasta for me, which is absolutely delicious, and again because it was sausage meat rather than mince it didn't have that nasty grainy texture that I don't like!
