1 small onion chopped
2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper sliced (I used jalapenos instead to spice it up a bit, or add in a Scotch Bonnet for extra heat)
1 orange bell pepper sliced
1 red bell pepper sliced
3 cloves garlic chopped
14 oz. fire-roasted tomatoes OPTIONAL: I used canned – diced tomatoes are great, too, canned or fresh
1 c. of grated fresh Parmesan cheese or more as needed
1 c. coconut milk heavy cream is an acceptable alternative, yet won’t bring that coconut flavour
1 tbsp Jamaican jerk seasoning
8 oz. fettuccine pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
How to make Rasta Pasta
Step 1: In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and peppers to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
Step 2: Add the garlic to the pan followed by a tbsp Jamaican jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for additional minutes, stirring.
Step 3: To the pan, add the tomatoes, stir, and cook further to cook the tomatoes down. This takes another 5 minutes.
Step 4: Pour the coconut milk into the pan and simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture has thickened. You can add a couple of tbsp water or chicken stock to the pan if the mixture gets too thick.
Step 5: Then, add the Parmesan cheese to the pan. Stir well, then take the pan off the heat.
Step 6: In the meantime, cook the fettuccine following the package directions. Drain when done and add the fettuccine to the sauce. Toss to coat. Enjoy!
