Al dente macaroni, dotted with plump peas & silky onion, is coated in a very special homemade sauce, featuring tomato paste, prego sauce, a spice blend & garlic. Served with o-so-yum ostrich strips.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
