CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

With the NBA playoffs only a few short weeks away, fans have a new reason to celebrate: PETA's ranking of the Top Five Vegetarian-Friendly NBA Arenas. And as NBA legend John Salley announces in a new video posted today on PETA's website, Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, snagged fifth-place honors this year with its scrumptious veggie burger and Thai tofu stir-fry. Vegan hot dogs and roasted garlic hummus with pretzel chips are also up for grabs at the arena's concession stands.

"Animal-friendly Cavaliers fans are always in for a treat with the plant-based spread readily available at Quicken Loans Arena," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "As more NBA stadiums than ever get on the ball with delicious vegan snacks, PETA is calling on others to join the cruelty-free charge."

PETAwhose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to eat"awarded the top spot to American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and a summer vegetable and tofu flatbread. The second spot in its top five went to Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder and the vegetarian portobello mushroom burger. The Toronto Raptors' Air Canada Centre nabbed third place, boasting loaded vegetable subs and vegan sushi, while the Portland Trail Blazers' Moda Center took home fourth for its to-die-for vegan farro kale pesto salads.

Each winner will receive a framed certificate.

In the wide world of noodles, Pad Thai has become one of the best-loved dishes.

This Thai "street food" is quick to prepare and offers so many of the signature flavours of the Thai kitchen.

It gets its wonderful heat from chili paste, that lovely sour tang from rice vinegar and limes, the subtle sweet flavours from palm or brown sugar and in this recipe the saltiness from soy sauce (not the ubiquitous Thai ingredient -- fish sauce) -- making the dish vegetarian.

Then there are the fabulous textural contrasts between the smooth rice noodles, and the crunchy accompanying, cucumber, bean sprouts and nuts.

This recipe, which is a bit of an unusual take on Pad Thai, is one of our family favourites.

Vegetarian Pad Thai

Ingredients:

Garnishes

Directions:

Place the soy sauce and sesame in a small bowl. Place the tofu in and toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.

One rap on vegetarians I know, because Ive said it myself is that some of them should really be called carbotarians. They eat meals that are technically vegetarian because theres no meat, but the dishes dont feature vegetables in any interesting way, either. And guess what that leaves? These are the pasta-with-butter and grilled-cheese-with-nothing people, whose diets remind me of a childs and a picky ones at that.

[Make the recipe: Pasta With Pistachios.]

Despite my criticism of that type of vegetarianism, every so often, I join their ranks. On those nights, because Im too busy or the fridge is devoid of fresh produce or I just have a hankering for easy and nostalgic flavors, I want a big bowl of pasta with little more than a shower of cheese and some olive oil or butter. Perhaps a few garlic cloves and a scattering of toasted nuts. Maybe an herb or two. The emphasis, really, is on the pasta, and theres not a vegetable of substance in sight.

In the height of summer, these are the pesto days, when I dip into the jar of sauce I make every few weeks and toss it with whatever pasta in my pantry is shaped appropriately enough to hold onto its goodness. But even then, because my own garden is producing so many vegetables, there are always some greens or peppers or squash to throw into the bowl, too. In the winter, I make pesto far less often, and when I do, Im much more apt to make it the only other ingredient in the dish besides the pasta.

This is also when I use a much higher proportion of nuts to herbs, a trick I learned from the guys at Frankies Spuntino in New York. In their 2010 cookbook, The Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion & Cooking Manual, the first recipe in their dried-pasta chapter is probably the one I make most often when the weather is cold. They combine orecchiette with a pesto that includes a lot of pistachios and a little mint (plus garlic and cheese), giving it a Sicilian bent.

For this winter dish, I like to cook whole-grain pasta, whose heartiness complements the pestos nuttiness. Most recently, I tossed the pesto with a beautiful rye-flour campanelle (ruffled trumpet-shaped pasta) that I bought from Brooklyns Sfoglini. As I devoured one bite after another, it occurred to me that the next time I make it, I might add some broccoli, or roasted Brussels sprouts.

Or maybe I wont. Now and then, its fun to be a carbotarian.
