1154 AD was the first clear reference to pasta recorded, charting trade from the Port of Sicily. 868 years later, in our own little port on the other side of the world, we continue the journey.
Inspired by the trading of culture, stories and produce that would've come through Wellington Harbour, 1154 Pastaria are 'trading' in flavours from the port of Hong Kong, and re-imagining one of their classics. They've paired Alla Vodka sauce with Hong Kong "Typhoon Shelter" prawns, a style of cooking well-known among sailors and typical of locals in the harbour sheltering from storms and in doing so have created the story of Wellington's Port in a bowl.
Dish Description: Housemade tomato rigatoni with tiger prawns in a cream, tomato and vodka sauce with sweet chilli, garlic and Hong Kong-style ‘Typhoon Shelter’ crumb
