Creamy Rasta Pasta

This Creamy Rasta Pasta gets its name from the colorful bell peppers and the spicy Caribbean-style jerk chicken. This is one of my favorite midweek meals – creamy and delicious and ready in only 15 minutes! What’s not to love? I also often use leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe.

Start by cooking the pasta until al dente. If you’re using chicken breasts, toss them with jerk seasoning and cook until golden and cooked through. Add vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed pot, and sauté bell peppers with green onions. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant before adding jerk seasoning to the pot. Stir in heavy cream, chicken, and vegetable stock to the pot. Simmer until the sauce thickens and stir in Parmesan. Mix in the pasta and finish by garnishing with chopped chives, green onions, or parsley.
