Rasta pasta is prepared differently by each cook and in each home. You can choose the kind of pasta and vegetables you want to eat, but one thing has to be included: a generous dose of jerk seasoning to ensure that every bite is flavorful.
Ingredients:
For the chicken
- 1 lime
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins, sliced into 2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon hot jerk seasoning
- 1 heaping tablespoon green seasoning, storebought or homemade
- 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce (optional)
- 2 teaspoons neutral oil, like avocado or canola
For the pasta
- 8 ounces penne
- 4 teaspoons neutral oil, to cook chicken and vegetables
- 1/2 green pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, leaves removed
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheesa
Instructions:
Step:No:01
Prepare the chicken by placing the pieces in a sizable mixing dish.
To soften, roll the lime across the counter. Squeeze the juice from the half-sliced piece over the chicken. When you're ready to rinse, you may combine the chicken with the lime halves and set it aside. Just enough water should be added to the basin to submerge the chicken. Use tongs or a wooden spoon to mix the chicken. For fifteen to twenty minutes, let it in the acidic water with a plastic wrap covering it.

After rinsing, pat the chicken dry and carefully pour the water out of the basin. Repeatedly drain the chicken gently after adding fresh, cold water to the basin. To get rid of the lime and any slime the chicken may have, repeat this procedure twice. Wet the chicken with paper towels and pat dry.
Step:No:03
To season and marinade the chicken, add oil, browning sauce, green seasoning, and spicy jerk seasoning to the bowl of chicken. Press the spice mixture into the meat with your hands or with tongs. Place plastic wrap over the bowl and place it in the fridge. Give the chicken at least half an hour to marinade, or even overnight.Step:No:04
To cook the pasta, start by boiling a big pot of water. To help the pasta cook with more flavor, add salt to the water. A ratio of one tablespoon salt to two quarts of water.
Stirring occasionally, boil the dry pasta for 7 to 8 minutes while keeping it covered. For a rolling boil, maintain the heat at medium-high. While you prepare the sauce and boil the chicken, drain the pasta in a colander, return it to the pot, and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Pasta should be cooked as directed on the package. After draining, set away.

Cook the chicken by removing the plastic wrap and taking it out of the refrigerator.
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a deep, nonstick skillet over medium heat. With a pair of tongs, transfer the chicken to the pan, discarding any extra marinade. Turning the chicken occasionally, sauté the chicken for about ten minutes, or until it is browned and the seasoning has dried onto the meat. When the chicken is done, the juices should run clear or the thermometer should read 165°F. Take out of the pan and place aside.Step:No:06
Prepare the vegetables:
Pour a small amount extra oil into the skillet. Add the garlic, onion, and peppers. Sauté for about five minutes, or until soft but still crisp. The peppers shouldn't appear lifeless and should still have some color. The pepper should still yield slightly when pierced with a fork. Reintroduce the chicken to the pan along with the veggies, and mix everything together.

To make the sauce, combine the paprika, salt, black pepper, and heavy cream. Give the cream five minutes to simmer. It will be simmering when tiny bubbles form on the surface. Once the cheese has melted, stir in the Parmesan and simmer for a further one to two minutes.
Step:No:08
Take off the heat, give it some rest, and then serve:
Take the pasta off the burner and give it a two-minute rest so the flavors of the sauce may seep in. Warm up and serve!

Pasta leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container with a lid. I advise against overheating when reheating because the cheese can melt too much and get greasy.
