2nd Annual Valentines Bazaar—Feb 10 & 11 10am4pm at the Roll-A-Dome. We have a few booths available for vendors, reach out to dyanne.lybbert@gmail.com for an application form! We have some center booths available.

optional garnishes: finely chopped parsley and red pepper flakes

Northern BC RV and Outdoor Expo—Feb 23 10am8pm at the CN Centre.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Throw in the pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water and then drain.

2. In a saucepan, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes.

The tomato paste will darken in color from a bright red to reddish brown. This process removes acidity from the tomato paste.

3. Add heavy cream and mix until incorporated. Simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Add the red pepper flakes, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix again.

5. Add the grated parmesan, butter, and 1/2 a cup pasta water. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If you think it needs more pasta water, you can add but 1/2 a cup is perfect for me.

6. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix to coat evenly. Optional, top it off with more grated parm, chopped parsley, and chili flakes.

If anyone in the neighbourhood witnessed the event or saw something suspicious we ask that they please contact the Prince George RCMP to speak with police," states Cpl.

WINTER RUNNING CHALLENGE Carley Billups is running 1,000km during the 13 coldest weeks of the year in the Winter Running Challenge. She is raising funds for kids with disabilities in Northern British Columbia.

Carley is a pediatric occupational therapist who has lived and worked in Prince George over the past 12 years.

Carley has seen first-hand the struggles that Prince George families face in order to get funding for important medical equipment and services that support their ability to participate in daily life and she wants to help.

This will mean Carley will face many snowy, dark, lonely and cold runs during the most challenging running conditions of the year! Carley choose to do this in the winter because she knows that doing hard things is something children with disabilities and their families experience every single day.
