Servings 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces penne pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 bell peppers sliced
- ½ cup green onions sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup jerk seasoning
- 2 cups coconut milk or other dairy-free milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta to the hot water and cook until al dente. Once cooked, strain the water, reserving at least 1 cup of the pasta water.
- As the pasta cooks, warm olive oil in a large skillet. Cook bell peppers, green onion, and garlic until just softened. You don't want to cook the peppers down too much.
- Stir in the jerk seasoning. Add coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
- Toss in the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Add reserved pasta water, as needed, to help bring the sauce together. Serve warm.
