Jerk Chicken Rasta Pasta

Jerk Chicken Rasta Pasta!!! Rasta Pasta is where Italian meets Jamaican culture. How divine?

Jamaican Rasta Pasta

 

Do you know what makes a Rasta Pasta, Rasta? While Rastafarians eat an Ital diet which is a raw, organic, whole foods diet that does not consist of anything process, everything eaten is from the earth itself. Rasta Pasta today doesn’t really embody the term Rasta. Let’s get down to the bottom of this.

 

Rasta Pasta

 

Originally this dish was created by Chef Lorriane Washington back in 1985, she stated “I was preparing a meal for some construction workers when I placed some ackee on tomato sauce on a bed of home-made fettuccini. The Rasta colors evident in the dish inspired one of the carpenters to name it Rasta Pasta. Another pointed out that the fettuccini was the dreadlocks and so Rasta Pasta was born. They begged me to put it on the menu and there it remained from February 14, 1986, to July 1997.” – Chef Lorraine Washington, The Gleaner Jamaica.

The Rasta Pasta has evolved into different variations. Clearly, the colors of Rasta Pasta are the same colors of the Rastafarian flag. Hence, you can’t have Rasta Pasta without repping right? Now, Rasta Pasta is usually made with penne pasta, coconut milk, parmesan cheese with bell peppers. It’s optional to add seafood or meat. Importantly, you can make Rasta Pasta in any form you like. Don’t let anyone tell you can’t.

Jerk Sauce: You are welcome to make or buy your own jerk sauce or seasoning. In the video, extra jerk sauce was used at the end for that extra color.

This Jerk Chicken Rasta Pasta dish can be done vegetarian and pescetarian. It’s perfect with shrimp. Rasta Pasta is originally done with Penne pasta but you can use whatever pasta you like. It would pair well with rigatoni.
