Why do they call it Rasta Pasta?
Despite its name Rasta Pasta, this dish is not apart of the Rastafarian Culture because Rastafarians do not eat meat or dairy. But the reason for the dish’s namesake is because of the colors of the bell peppers (red, gold, and green).
Fun Fact: This Jamaican Rasta Pasta Recipe was actually invented by Jamaican international chef Lorraine Washington.
What are other meats you can use for your Rasta Pasta?
The most popular way to cook Rasta Pasta is with Best Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe Ever. You can substitute that for oxtail, shrimp, salmon, curry goat, jerk lamb; and there are even more different ways to make this dish delicious.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7
Wisdom
When we hear the gospel and believe that Jesus died for us and every evil deed we have done in our life is forgiven. He begins to reveal Himself to you once you pick up his word and follow Him. As you start to read and understand more of who He truly is, you begin developing a “fear” meaning respect towards Him. Because as our knowledge of who He is increases, and all the things He has done from the beginning, and still is doing. You realize how foolish it is not to believe in the gospel.
Because He is the Son of the living God who died for the world, He decides who goes to heaven and hell, all who do not “fear” Him will perish for lack of faith and knowledge in Him. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near, forsake your thoughts.
Begin to transform and renew your mind by knowing more about who Jesus is, and less of this world. For knowing Him is true wisdom, the wisdom of this world is vanity. Only what we do for Jesus will matter in the end. Seeking Him is true knowledge and true wisdom, to despise Him would be foolish, for only He has what we all desire, everlasting life in paradise.
