1

a) Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt on high heat.

b) Add the rigatoni and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

b) Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower to a simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.

5

a) Once the sauce is thickened, stir in the prawns and cook for 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
