Ostrich and tomato rigatoni




Fresh, flavoursome and subtly fiery: this rigatoni-and-ostrich sausage dish is ready in no time at all. Finish it off with lots of Parmesan and a glug of green olive oil to add more flavour – it’s an al fresco dinner at its best. It also works wonderfully as leftovers for lunch the next day.
