Choose your portion size.
Spaghetti
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a small drizzle of olive oil.
ON TO THE Ostrich
Place a pan, large enough for the pasta, over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Ostrich pieces until browned but not cooked through, 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan and season.
PASTA SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and 10g of butter. When hot, fry the diced Onion until soft and turning golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the spice & flour, the tomato paste, and a drizzle of oil. Fry until fragrant, 1-3 minutes. Slowly stir in the milk, whisking constantly until thickened. Add the reserved pasta water in increments until a saucy consistency. Season and add the peas. Simmer until the peas are warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked pasta, the browned Ostrich, and ½ of the chopped Oregano. Mix and loosen with more pasta water if it’s too thick.
IT’S THAT TIME
Plate up the creamy pasta, sprinkle over the remaining Oregano, and add a generous crack of black pepper. Tuck in, Chef!
