Jamaican Vegan Rasta Pasta

Healthy Fact of the Day

Coconut milk adds healthy fats, while bell peppers deliver a boost of vitamin C. Nutritional yeast provides plant-based B12 and a cheesy flavor without the dairy.

This Jamaican Vegan Rasta Pasta is creamy, colorful, and full of bold jerk-seasoned flavor with coconut milk and vibrant bell peppers that create a tropical feast for the senses. The rich coconut sauce is infused with authentic Jamaican jerk spices, while the rainbow of peppers adds both sweetness and visual appeal. It’s a plant-based dish that proves vegan cooking can be incredibly satisfying and bursting with island-inspired flavors.

If you love vibrant, plant-based meals, you’ll also enjoy our Vegan Garlic Noodles for another creamy pasta option with bold flavors. For more Caribbean-inspired dishes, try our Mango Chicken Curry or Coconut Chicken—both deliver that same tropical, spice-forward appeal with different protein options.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
