PENNE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil for the pasta. When boiling, cook the pasta for 10-15 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and toss through some olive oil to prevent sticking.
OKIDOKI ON THE Ostrich
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Ostrich strips and brown for 1-2 minutes, shifting occasionally. Once browned, remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
CRUNCHY BITS
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced Onion and the pepper strips. Fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the rub and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting occasionally.
GO, GO, Tomato
When the rub is fragrant, add the cooked chopped Tomato and 100ml of pasta water. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until reduced and thickened. In the final minute, add the browned Ostrich, the cooked pasta, salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice. Mix until combined, adding a splash of the pasta water if it’s too thick.
