The name Rasta pasta comes from the idea of this pasta dish being vegetarians’ choice and from the mixed colour of the components used in the dish.

Chef’s preferences are short cut pasta like fusilli, penne and rigatoni, long cuts like fettuccine and linguine can also be used depending on your style.

Ingredients

Minced garlic

Olive oil- for sauteing

Al dente pasta

Diced pumpkin - precooked (al dente)

Red, green and yellow bell peppers- diced or julienne cut

Cherry tomatoes – large ones cut in half

Mushrooms- (any kind will do) cut to suit your taste

Parsley - chopped / also for garnish.

Tomato sauce of your choice (optional)

 

Note: Any vegetables of your choice can be used, tomato sauce is optional and can be substituted with pesto or just good cold pressed virgin olive oil.


Method

In a heated sautéing pan mix all your veggies together, season while moving around for 3 mins add any al dente vegetables at the last minute.

 

Add your favourite tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.

Add pasta of choice and season for taste. Garnish with parsley or any chopped herbs.
