The Canada Is Awesome network has websites and social media extensions in Vancouver, Squamish, Calgary and Toronto, with many more on the horizon. Our goal is simple: we let people know about all of the awesome things that make their Canadian cities great, despite the bad. I'm the founder of this network and each week in this What's Awesome post I bring you the top stories from each of our properties, giving you access to the best of our content all in one place.

National Pasta Day with Chef Kris Schlotzhauer
For National Pasta Day, Enoteca Sociale’s Head Chef Kris Schlotzhauer has sent us two of their signature pasta recipes – the Bucatini all’Amatriciana and the delightful Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe.

Try them yourself at home, or head into Enoteca Sociale at 1288 Dundas Street West to enjoy them prepared with Enoteca’s fresh house-made pasta. Enjoy!
