    Tips

    • Prefer your pasta creamier add more coconut milk or heavy cream 
    • Rasta Pasta can be spicy with the amount of jerk seasoning added. So if you do not like spice consider reducing the amount of seasoning 
    • Dairy-free Substitutions: coconut milk for heavy cream and extra virgin olive oil for butter
