I recently tweeted Nigel Slater and asked him for a suggestion as to what I could do with chipolatas, he kindly replied suggesting a cream and mustard sauce with some pasta. Hence my inspiration was fired up and I came up with Scrumptious Chipolata Tagliatelle.
I decided against cream as I have over indulged the family recently, plus I have always a constant supply of low fat Greek yogurt in the fridge. I also decided that wholegrain mustard and cider were perfect bed fellows for the chipolatas. My husband and children absolutely loved this dish and even if the yogurt does curdle it doesn’t spoil the taste!
If you have any chipolatas left over from a BBQ then they would be perfect for this dish.

As chipolatas and cider are cheaper than cuts of meat and wine I am entering this dish it into Helen of Fuss FreeFlavours “Frugal Food Fridays” event which is being hosted by Jen over at Blue Kitchen Bakes.
First cut up the chipolatas and roast on a baking tray in the oven.
Soften the onions and then add the cider, stock and mustard and simmer for 10 mins.
Roast the chipolatas until golden brown all over.
Add the seasoning and yogurt to the cider reduction and then stir in the sausages.
Now pile on to the tagliatelle and serve with a green salad or some petite pois!

Hi Tom, thank you so much for reminding me about this recipe which my family love. If I had some yogurt in the house I would make this tonight as we usually have some cider in the fridge. This was one of my first blog posts back in 2012 so if you look at my home page I think you’ll notice a difference? Let me know what you think about my latest posts! Once again, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to read my recipe and leave a comment:-)

I’m doing something like this. In the oven I’m roasting the sausages with garlic and some sweet potato. In q pan, i will soften some onions and chopped apple until brown and slightly caramelised with honey tea spoon of honey, salt pepper. After I will add the mustard, creme fresh and herbs; stock and apple juice (as my wife is pregnant), take the sausages out (which should have some colour on them by now, take the roasted garlic out and mix that in with the sauce then add the sauce to the sausages in the roasting pan, stir all together and try to scrape all the goodness of the bottom, add the pasta, then pop back in the oven for 5 mins to thicken.
Camilla
Excellent, glad to have inspired you like Nigel did for me:-)
Paul Wilson
Mmmm quick and tasty.

What a nice sounding, straightforward, recipe. One to remember when I’m stuck with the meal planning. Thank you.
Sarah Cooper
Must try this recipe
Paul Wilson
Edit: Scrumptious is the word. 🙂
Paul Wilson
Scrumptious is just the world
William Gould
Oooo great! With possibly some mushrooms to bulk it up a bit?
Camilla
I wouldn’t personally put mushrooms in as the flavour combo is just perfect here – my family love this dish.
Anne Dalzell
Love the look of this tasty dinner, you really know how to make hearty, delicious grub.
Camilla
Thank you Anne, it’s a regular here as popular with whole family:-)
Ann Robinson
It looks good, i wouldn’t have thought of putting chipolatas with pasta but will after seeing this.
Sarah Pace
Hi. This sounds lush! Am thinking of making it for supper tomorrow. Do you think it would be ok to substitute the cider for apple juice if making for a toddler or does the alcohol burn off?
Camilla
Ooh, I would have thought that the alcohol would burn off but not being a chemist wouldn’t like to say definitely so! Apple juice might be too sweet as the cider is more tart, but not having tried I can’t really say for sure!
Geoff Clark
A great dish and scrumptious is one of my favourite words!
Camilla
Thanks it’s a favourite here:-)
Heather Haigh
That sounds really tasty and satisfying – plus it’s an excuse to buy cider!
Geoff Clark
It’s only 9.30am but after seeing this I could be on for a very early lunch
glenn hutton
Very nice and tasy looking meal…
tjs1963
This looks and sounds really delicious, we all love pasta, so filling and versatile.
Carolyn Clapham
That sounds nice. I will have a go at making it soon.
I’ve been using sausages myself in pasta dishes recently and love the distinctive flavour they give (but I have been using good-quality sausages that I’ve chopped up into small chunks and fried before adding the other ingredients)
Camilla
Thank you. Oh yes, I only use good quality sausages – the family would down tools otherwise:-)
Ursula Hunt
cant beat pasta dishes for ease and taste
K Mayers
What an interesting idea! I wouldn’t never have thought of tweeting a chef for ideas to be honest but you certainly got some inspiration from him. I think I would’ve stuck with the cream personally, though it may be a case of trial and error as to which I’d prefer. Everything else I like the idea of though 🙂
Ursula Hunt
Looks delicious
Tracy Nixon
I love pasta and this recipe looks lovely!
Lisa Williams

Annie Costa

Maya Russell
I’d never thought of using yogurt, only cream. Thanks for the recipe.
rita cooks italian
What delicious pasta sauce and what interesting combination of ingredients, I never tried to mix yogurt and mustard sausages, healthier than cream!!
Camilla
Thank you, it’s already become a regular favourite in our house!
Jacqueline @How to be a Gourmand
Great that you got Nigel involved Camilla and that he is so approachable. Like you, I would avoid using cream and opt for greek yoghurt instead. I wonder how you can prevent it from curdling. Love the combination of mustard, cider and chipolatas. Great family dish 🙂
Camilla
As well as Nigel influencing this recipe, I think subconsciously you did as well with your not being keen on cream view, plus we all OD’d of cream choux buns recently so I was feeling guilty! I have a feeling that if one uses full fat Greek yogurt the curdling would be fixed, but I only ever buy no or low fat so that’s a price I’m willing to pay =D
Cakeboule
This looks good I was thinking the other day if I could make a pasta dish with some sausages and then I see this! Thanks fo the inspiration.
Camilla
Nigel inspired me, I’ve inspired you, it’s all good!
Jen
Thanks for entering this into Frugal Food Fridays, I love the look of those little nuggets of sausage, it’s making me hungry now!
Camilla
Thank you, I’m sure I will be posting again!
