Instructions
Step 1
Cook the pasta to pack instructions, or until al’ dente.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Add the shallots and celery and cook for 5 minutes, until softened and lightly golden. Add the vodka and the HEINZ Big Red. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 3
Drain the pasta, reserving ½ cup cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the tomato sauce, adding just enough cooking liquid to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and a generous amount of cracked black pepper. Toss to combine.
Step 4
For the prawns: heat the butter and remaining oil in a separate frying pan. Add the prawn meat and cook quickly for 1-2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and parsley, then pour straight into the other pan. Toss together and serve topped with enough tabasco sauce to your liking.
