Hi guys what’s up what’s up it’s charotte from that girl Cooks healthy today I’m going to show you how to make this delicious Jamaican rasta pasta vegan style this is a delicious recipe that is really really easy to make and I cannot wait to show you guys how to make it so let’s make.
It so these are the ingredients that you’re going to need I have some pasta I’m using glutenfree chickpea Fus for this recipe so for anyone who is not gluten-free you maybe a vegan you can use any type of pasta that you want but I’m specifically using glutenfree.
I have the raster TR colors for the bell pepper so red gold and green technically it’s yellow but we classify as gold for the um resta movement I have some vegan cheese coconut milk some chopped tomato black pepper I have jerk paste as well I’m not using my version but you can use that and I’ll put the link in the description box and above so you guys.
Can access it I’m I like to use Walker Wood when I’m not using my own but I didn’t have enough time to make my own but walk Walker’s wood is a really good jerk paste and I recommend that you use that one so I have the hot one there um I’m also using some turmeric too for some color some onion and garlic I do usually use skeleion but I didn’t have.
It to hand so I use skelling as well a small amount of water and I do also have some time that is not included as well um but I am using some time as well so the first thing that we need to do is we need to cook the pasta so what I’ve done is I’ve brought some water to the boil so I have a pot of water boiling and I’m also adding some pink salt and then I’m.
Just going to add the pasta um I find that the pink salt helps with the pasta not sticking so that’s the reason why I like to cook it and it also gives the pasta a little bit of flavor as well so I don’t have to add much salt to the recipe so we’re just going to give that a quick stir and then I’m going to leave it to cook till it’s Al Dente so you.
Want it to be have a slight bite to you don’t want it to be too soft but you don’t want it to be too firm so I’m just going to put the lid on and then we just going to cook it for a few minutes so the pasta has been cooking for a few minutes now so I’m going to remove the lid and I’m just going to check the ready units so as I said you.
Want the pasta to be ente so not too firm and not too soft so I’m just going to grab a fork and just going to determine that texture to see if I have that right type of texture um and it feel to me it pretty much is the right texture and I’m just going to move on to the next step after draining it so I have a medium siiz frying pan.
That I have on my stove and what I’m going to do now is add just a small amount of olive oil to the frying pan and then I’m going to add my onion and garlic I would normally add scallum but like I said I did run out and I just totally forgot when I was making a video that I didn’t have any so I add my onion and my garlic and then what I’m going to.
Do is just sort it that for a few minutes till it’s soft and translucent so now that the onion and garlic is soft the next thing I’m going to do is add the trio colored bell peppers so I’m going to add that to my frying pan I’m.
Just going to cook that for a few minutes and let it cook for a couple of minutes and then I’m going to add some water because what I want to do is I want my B Peppers to be soft some people like them crunchy but I prefer mine and soft so what I’m going to do is just add a small amount of water and steam the Bell poppers for about 10 minutes or so.
Just till they’re soft enough um so I’m going to put the lid on once I add that water and just allow it to steam for about 10 minutes so this is what the Bell papers looks like after about 10 minutes so I’m going to remove the lid and show you guys what.
They should look like and they’re nice and soft like I said if you don’t mind crunchiness then you can totally admit this step and just continue with the cooking process and you don’t need to steam the bell peppers so the bell peppers are nice and soft I’m just going to give it a quick stir again and then I’m going to add my Jamaican Jerk paste.
Followed by some tomato as well and once I add those ingredients I’m just going to give it another stir as well just to stir everything together make sure everything’s nicely combined and all of the ingredients are working together like they should do and just continue to give it a quick stir before we add the rest of the.
ingredients so now I’m going to add my turmeric and then I’m going to add my pasta the turmeric is a game Cher for the color to me it gives the overall dish a nice yellow H so if you really want to give your dish and aesthetically pleasing look then I do recommend that you use.
The turmeric powder as well because it’s really going to bring out that nice yellow Hool and to me it just looks a lot better so right now what I’m going to do is just stir everything in so I’m just folding it in with the pasta and the bell peppers together and the other ingredients just for a couple of.
Minutes so now it’s time to make the sauce for the dish so I’m just going to pour in the coconut milk and once I pour the cocon coconut milk in again I’m just going to continue to fold everything in with the coconut milk because you want the we want the pasta to soak up some of the coconut milk so you want to just do that for 1 to 2 minutes and then we’re.
Going to finally add our vegan cheese and that is going to really solidify the process of making a nice cheesy sauce to go with the pasta that is a game changer trust me that is when the recipe is going to taste a million times better better when we add the cheese so just going to fold in the cheese and just continue to fold until the sauce starts.
To thicken up so now that the sauce is thickened up we’re just going to add some fresh thyme to the recipe you can have this as a garnish and also some black pepper so.
You can just garnish the recipe if you want or you can just fold it in I tend to do both so today I’m just going to show you how I just add both of them and I’m just going to fold it in you don’t really need to add any salt unless you want to I personally don’t add any more salt than I need to apart from when I’m um boiling the pasta but you can do a.
Taste test and add salt if you want to so that’s it guys how easy was that recipe I hope you make this recipe it’s really easy it’s delicious great for weat nights or if you just find having something that is Caribbean style and an easy budget friendly recipe to make then this is the one to make I really do hope.
