Called “pastina”, which means little pasta in Italian, we’re using this grain-like pasta in today’s recipe to soak up the rich tomato passata sauce. Infused with NOMU Roast Rub, this forms the base for a mouthwatering ostrich mince & silky onion medley. Served with spinach, creamy feta crumblings and toasted sunflower seeds for garnish.
