Method
Cooking the Pasta
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the penne pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Preparing the Sauce
- In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the jerk seasoning, stirring to incorporate, and then let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.
Adding Vegetables
- Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the sauce, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened.
- Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Combining Pasta and Sauce
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce mixture, tossing gently to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
Serving
- Divide the Rasta Pasta among serving plates. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
