Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 8 oz Pasta Use your favorite type; gluten-free options work well too!
For the Sautéed Veggies
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Ideal for sautéing; can substitute with avocado oil for a different flavor.
  • 1 Onion Any variety will add sweetness; even shallots can work well here.
  • 2 Bell Peppers Mix colors for a beautiful array; red, yellow, and green all bring sweetness and crunch.
  • 2 stalks Celery Provides a lovely texture and slight earthiness.
  • 2 medium Carrots Adds a pop of color and sweetness; zucchini can be used as a swap.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh cloves are best for that aromatic kick.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Jamaican Jerk Seasoning A must-have for that bold and spicy profile.
  • 14 oz Tomatoes Fresh or canned, they add juiciness and brightness.
  • 1 cup Coconut Cream Ensures creaminess; full-fat coconut milk can be used as a substitute.
