It’s all about pasta!

Highlighting Cowichan Pasta: Cowichan Pasta was born from a simple idea, great pasta made from 100% Vancouver Island ingredients. Every single ingredient from the wheat and eggs in the pasta to the beef, seafood or cheese in the filling comes from Vancouver Island. Even the salt comes from our local waters! All of the pasta is made from local wheat that is grown here on the island called a Hard Spring Wheat which is milled at True Grain in Cowichan Bay. They offer fresh flavoured pasta: Stinging Nettle Rotini, Smoked Chanterelle Spaghetti, Wakame Spaghetti and a Plain Fettuccine. Don’t miss the filled ravioli: Cowichan Bay Spot Prawn, Dungeness Crab and Squash, Braised Quist Farms Beef and the vegetarian option changes seasonally such as squash and hazelnut, smoked corn and chanterelle, garlic scape, broccoli and smoked boerenkass. Take a bag of pasta home to share with your friends and family and visit their tasty food cart for lunch!
