RUBY RED
Boil the kettle. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
POP THE PUMPKIN SEEDS
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CHAR AND CHOP
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the halved baby tomatoes and fry until blistered and charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and place in a large bowl along with the diced onion (to taste), the vinegar, ½ the chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Mix until combined.
BRING ON THE BUTTER
Return the pan to medium heat with a knob of butter. When starting to foam, add the cooked pasta and the NOMU rub, shifting until combined. Remove the pan from the heat and season.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Make a bed of the ruby pasta and the rinsed green leaves. Scatter over the plumped peas, the biltong, and the balsamic tomatoes. Drizzle over any remaining balsamic dressing from the tomatoes. Crumble over the drained feta and sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds. Garnish with the remaining parsley. Enjoy!
