This simple and light, spiced up Ontario greenhouse vegetable pasta is sure to be a household favourite that is simple enough to be in your dinner rotation, but also nuanced enough to be served at a dinner party!
This finishing touch is sure to add an artistic flair to your pasta. To make basil crisps, pour vegetable oil (about 1 ½ inches) in a medium Dutch oven. Heat to a temperature of 300°F/149°C and add fresh basil. Using a slotted spoon, flip the basil leaves over to complete frying. Scoop out and drain excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels.
