BOILING AWAY
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
TOASTED SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SIZZLING STRIPS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
GET THE SAUCE GOING
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the chopped mushrooms and fry until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and a knob of butter, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Stir in the passata and the cream. Simmer until slightly reduced, 5-7 minutes.
THE FINAL TOUCH
When the sauce is reduced, add the rinsed spinach until wilted. Add the cooked ostrich, ½ the picked oregano, seasoning, and a sweetener. Just before serving, toss the cooked pasta through ½ the sauce.
EAT UP!
Plate up the pasta and top with the remaining creamy sauce. Sprinkle over the remaining oregano, the grated cheese, and the toasted sunflower seeds. Finish off with a grind of pepper. Great work, Chef!
