As some of you may know, I am currently working on a Seafood Ebook. Originally, this recipe was going to be featured in it, but I decided that the Glam Kitchen Gang needed a new, lit pasta dish. What exactly makes this “Rasta”, well because this dish is made with Jamaican jerk seasoning , coconut milk , fresh veggies and thyme which infuses soooooo much flavor. I’ve seen this dish on so many restaurant and chef IG pages and I decided to take a stab at it. As usual, let me know what you think and don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments! Enjoy !

Hi can you tell me about how much jerk seasoning you’re using? I plan to make this tonight
Hi, I don’t measure the seasoning but you can start with 1 tablespoon and sprinkle to adjust. Hope that helps
Greetings,
Is it possible to Substitute the Parmesan cheese for something else, for someone who doesn’t eat cheese?
I wouldn’t substitute it with anything else sorry ❤️ I will definitely think of adding non cheese pasta sauces as one recipe in the future
Amazing recipe, and simple – thank you!
Thank you !!!
What brand of Jamaican jerk seasoning do you use?
Hi, I use Grace brand or Caribbean Sunshine dried jerk seasonings
Hello!!! Happy Holidays! Is heavy whipping cream and whipping cream the same?

Omgoodness, this is delicious!!! I’ve never had rasta pasta before but have always been interested in it. I followed your recipe (except I used spicy jerk seasoning) and made it with jerk BBQ chicken thighs and it’s so good….thanks for sharing.
So happy to hear that ! And thank you for supporting ! This pasta is def one of my faves
I made this tonight and despite the cheese clumping, it was a definite hit Tay.
Yassssss glad you hear you enjoyed it ! And next time try using a whisk to get the lumps out or slowly add the cheese and stir versus adding it all at once – that should help❤️
Haven’t made it yet. Was wondering what’s the difference in regular salt and the pink Himalayan salt?
Made this last night and it was amazing! Wish I could leave a picture comment to show the finished dinner. Thank you so much for this recipe!
I am so happy to hear that thank you so much
Hi,
I use pink salt because it contains more minerals like calcium potassium etc but it’s def a personal choice you can use what you have on hand
Hello how much salt pepper and paprika should be used?
