Best 3 Banff Pasta Vegetarian Canadian Recipes
BANFF PASTA - VEGETARIAN - CANADIAN
While on a skiing vacation to Banff, Canada we ate at a small restaurant - I think Coyote Cafe was the name - I ordered a wonderful dish of pasta...and this recipe is very close to the dish I had in Banff. I used spaghetti, you could use any pasta you prefer. If you are a vegan you could omit the cheese. This could be a side-dish or an entree. Use the best quality goat or feta cheese.

THE GREATEST, MOST FLAVOURSOME, VEGETARIAN SPAGHETTI!
Well the title says it all :) If you're a fan of pasta, vegetarian or not, please give this a go. It's so easy and unbelievably tasty, you'll never eat out for pasta again! I got tired of pasta that wasn't quite tasty enough and experimented during my early 20s, and came up with this. It doesn't have any onion or meat in it, so it's easy to serve it up to lots of people! Garlic bread and salad and red wine go so well with this.

Steps:
- Pour about 2T of olive oil in a deep frypan or wok, and on a very low heat, fry the first 5 ingredients (up to basil) for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant. Garlic burns very easily so the next step has to be ready to go.
- Before garlic burns, pour in tomatoes and stir in, turning up the heat to medium.
- Add next 5 ingredients (up to red wine), stir thoroughly, then bring to the boil. Check to see that the flavour is balanced between the salt, sugar and vinegar. it should have a bit of a kick - but if you can taste the sugar or vinegar quite strongly, adjust taste, very carefully. eg. if it tastes like vinegar, add another 1/4 t sugar.
- Reduce to medium heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until reduced.
- In the meantime, grate parmesan cheese, boil large saucepan of generously salted water (you don't need oil).
- Boil pasta according to instructions - try not to touch it too much, and not to overcook it - bite-test it every 30 seconds when it gets close to the finish time. Pasta should be juicy and springy, not sticky and limp.
- Drain pasta, toss with olive oil, then serve onto plates. Top with sauce, parmesan, and cracked pepper. Bon apetit!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make pasta, so feel free to try different ingredients and techniques.
- Pay attention to the cooking time of your pasta. Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking pasta. This will cause the pasta to stick together and cook unevenly.
- Use a large pot when cooking pasta. This will give the pasta plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
- Add salt to the water when cooking pasta. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from sticking together.
- Drain the pasta well before adding it to the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
- Toss the pasta with the sauce immediately after draining it. This will help to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- Serve the pasta immediately. This will ensure that the pasta is at its best.
