Creamy Paprika Ostrich Tagliatelle
with crunchy green beans & balsamic reduction
With pasta, you’re always guaranteed an easy-to-eat dish that’s rich in flavours but straightforward to prepare. The same is true for this creamy fettuccine number: browned ostrich mince is swirled with flavours of tomato, Spanish spices, crunchy green beans & garlic, then elevated with homemade bechamel. Topped with sprinklings of cheese.

PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
MMMINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 [4-5]|#7DA0D7 minutes (shifting occasionally).
SAUCY MINCE
Add the Onion to the mince and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the Garlic and the spice mix. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato and 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until reduced and slightly thickening, 10-12 minutes. In the final 3-4 minutes, add the green beans and cook until slightly soft but still crunchy. Add a sweetener and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
SOME CREAMINESS
