What is rasta pasta?
Rasta Pasta is a creamy pasta dish mix of Italian and Jamaican cuisines. Here we made it shrimp this time. Rasta pasta has bell pepper either sautéed or roasted. This adds a great texture, but it’s the sweetness, crunch, and vibrant colors of the bell peppers that make them a great addition to the dish. This Rasta Pasta recipe is served in a creamy, thick seasoned sauce. We added both heavy cream and coconut milk which took this recipe to the next level.

“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38
Wisdom
We will forever profess the name of Jesus and will not be ashamed. He has died on the cross for the sins of the world, and through the blood that he shed and the faith that we have in him. We are forgiven and will be saved on the day he returns. Why should we be ashamed of this wonderful news? Why should we be ashamed of our Savior?
The Gospel is the best news we have as believers and it should be shared with everyone. We should profess the name of Jesus everywhere we go because he is a mighty God, a wonderful counselor, and he showed us how much he loves us by dying for us to have a second chance at life.
Spread the good news and the power in name of Jesus, to heal, cast out demons, open the eyes of the blind, and most importantly the power to save. To save the lost sheep who the Lord leads us to, and that’s why we confess his name because everyone deserves a chance of salvation.
