Rasta Pasta is a vibrant Jamaican fusion dish made with penne or fettuccine noodles tossed in a creamy coconut or cheese-based sauce, sautéed with tri-color bell peppers, garlic, scallions, and often topped with jerk-seasoned chicken, shrimp, or vegetables. Inspired by Rastafarian culture and colors (red, yellow, green), it originated in Jamaica and Jamaican-American kitchens, blending Caribbean flavors with Italian pasta. Though not part of Ital cuisine, it reflects playful modern Jamaican cooking.

Common variations include vegan Rasta Pasta using coconut cream and plant-based proteins or a spicier version with extra jerk seasoning.
