This rasta pasta recipe gives Italian pasta a Jamaican spin with creamy coconut milk, lots of spicy jerk seasoning and huge flavor.
It's pasta time, my friends. Today we're cooking up a pasta you've likely never tried before, something unique, colorful, and HUGE on flavor. It's a bit of a mashup recipe, coming straight out of Jamaica, an inspired spin on an Italian favorite from the perspective of the Caribbean.

It's called "Rasta Pasta", and you're going to love it!

What is Rasta Pasta?

Rasta Pasta is a colorful pasta dish made with a variety of bell peppers, creamy sauce and Caribbean seasonings, inspired by an original Italian recipe, but made with more traditional Jamaican ingredients. Because of its unique and enticing flavor, it has gained popularity worldwide, and you can find it on menus all over the world.

The name "Rasta" refers to "Rastafarianism", the powerful social movement developed in Jamaica in the 1930s. It is usually served as a vegetarian dish, as Rastafarians do not eat shellfish or meat, but many non-Rastafarian cooks add a protein to round out the meal. Jerk chicken or shrimp are the most popular, each bringing its own character to the finished dish, though oxtail is a popular addition as well.

No disrespect to Rastafarians, but I LOVE mine with shrimp!

The Origin of Rasta Pasta

Where did Rasta Pasta come from? While many Jamaican chefs claim to have invented this classic dish, one popular story is that a chef served a mix of tomato sauce and cheese sauce thickened with coconut milk over a bed of fettuccini to a group of guests. The guests quickly drew comparisons of the textures and colors of the dish to Jamaican culture, noting the colorful bell peppers represented the colors of Rastafarianism, and the shapes of the noodles representing dreadlocks.

It has been added to menus ever since and has only grown in popularity.

You can find it increasingly in restaurants, but it's so much more fun to make at home. Let's discuss how we make it, shall we? This is my version.

Ingredients Needed for Rasta Pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)

1 small onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, sliced (I used jalapenos instead to spice it up a bit, or add in a Scotch Bonnet for extra heat)

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 orange bell pepper, sliced

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning

14 ounces fire roasted tomatoes (OPTIONAL: I used canned - diced tomatoes are great, too, canned or fresh)

1 cup coconut milk (heavy cream is an acceptable alternative, yet won't bring that coconut flavor)

1 cup of grated fresh Parmesan cheese (or more as needed)

8 ounces fettuccine pasta

Shrimp or Chicken for serving - I'm using shrimp that's been seasoned with Jamaican jerk seasoning then seared. Try it with Jamaican Jerk Chicken.

How to Make Rasta Pasta - the Recipe Method
FOR THE RASTA PASTA:
First, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan and add the onion and peppers. Cook them down about 5 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.

Isn't it nice and colorful?

Add the tomatoes and stir. Cook for 5 minutes to cook down the tomatoes.

Add the coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken up. If it get too thick, swirl in a few tablespoons of water or chicken stock.

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remove from heat.

While the Rasta Pasta is simmering, cook the fettuccine noodles in a large pot according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with the sauce. It is so rich and creamy at this point. Already delicious.

Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning.

Heat a separate pan to medium heat and cook the shrimp 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.

Serve the shrimp over the pasta. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, spicy chili flakes, and extra grated Parmesan cheese
FOR THE SHRIMP (Optional):
NOTE: Alternatively, you can tuck the shrimp into the sauce along with the tomatoes and let them simmer with the sauce until cooked through. I prefer the shrimp seared and served over the top.

Recipe Tips & Notes

The Peppers. Use a colorful mix to make the dish more appealing, though this isn't required for flavor. I used jalapeno peppers here, as well as a couple of Scotch Bonnet peppers for a fiery version. Colorful bell peppers are more traditional.

Tomatoes. I've added some fire roasted tomatoes as more of a nod to the origin of the recipe, and because I love the flavor of fire roasted tomatoes. Many people now skip the tomatoes and focus solely on the cheesy coconut cream sauce, without the tomatoes. Try it both ways and see which one you prefer. I love both versions!

Sofrito. Consider adding in a few tablespoons of sofrito when cooking down the peppers and onions for an additional flavor burst. Sofrito is a sauce used as a base for building flavor into numerous dishes ranging from soups to stews to pots of rice, and it is popular in the Caribbean. Check out my sofrito recipe here.

Coconut Milk. Coconut milk is traditionally used as the creamy element to this dish. However, a popular variation is to use heavy cream instead. If you do not enjoy the flavor of coconut milk, use heavy cream.

The Pasta. I've used long fettucine for my recipe, though many different pastas will work for this dish. Try it with penne pasta, rigatoni, bucatini, or farfalle. Or whatever you prefer!

Knorr's Parma Rosa Sauce Mix. A lot of people use 1 packet of Knorr's Parma Rosa sauce mix in their sauces, but I am skipping it and using fresh ingredients that I have on hand. If it is easier for you to use Knorr's Parma Rosa sauce mix, go for it!

Proteins. As mentioned, Rastafarians do not eat shellfish and avoid most meats, so Rasta Pasta is typically a vegetarian meal. However, other cooks around the world like to add a protein, with shrimp and chicken being the most popular, along with oxtail.

Shaved Ice for the heat: Melanie

Bingsu (빙수), Korean shaved ice dessert, Korean ice sorbet, snow cones with toppings.. whatever you want to call it, it is sooo fabulously cooling and refreshing! When I was little, there was only one kind of Bingsu - Patbingsu(팥빙수). But now there are so many different kinds of Bingsu and the variety has kind of exploded: with different kinds of fruits (called Kwail Bingsu 과일빙수), with green tea powder (Nokcha Bingsu 녹차빙수), with mango, with coffee, with chocolate cookies, with artificial flavorings and so on. Original Patbingsu (redbean shaved ice) was made with sweet red beans (danpat 단팥) which is probably the most important ingredient to a classic Korean Bingsu besides the ice. And after that misugaru (미수가루 roasted multi grain powder) and sweetened condensed milk is probably the next two.

If you want a cooling snack or dessert for the hot summer days and also for the upcoming July 4th weekend, you may want to try making some Bingsu or Korean shaved ice dessert at home! Bingsu can be made in so many different ways with different toppings and your kids or the kid in you can have so much fun making it. Just remember to have some kind of syrup to tie it all together and some misugaru or almond slivers to add a flavor of nuttiness.

Before we get to how to make the best ice cold Bingsu ever, let me first tell you about my all time favorite Bingsu. For that, we need to go back to my college days in the summer. In Korea, all students from elementary to college attend school right into the middle of summer because schools only start summer vacation in late July. Overall, Korean kids only have about 1 month of summer vacation. Their winter vacation is much longer though, from late December till end of Feburary or so.

Now, it gets really HOT and MUGGY in Korea in the summer and so my friends and I wanted to eat cooling foods all the time. So we probably visited Gami Bunsik (가미분식) at least 2-3 times a week for lunch at summer time to cool our insides with their famous Cold Noodle Soup (Naengmyeon 냉면). This naengmyeon is so addictive that my friends always wondered if they had put oh, you know.. somethin' somethin' in there to get us totally hooked. 😜 Well, you just never know! HAHA!

Anyway, besides the famously addictive Naengmyeon, there is another dish that is equally as addictive. It is their Subak Bingsu (수박빙수). Unlike the common bingsu, they are no sweet red beans and no misugaru. But, believe me, it is so awesomely cool and refreshing that you feel totally cooled down after a bowl of that super ice cold goodness. I miss it so much now...sigh...

Right, so in this post, I will first show you how to make the classic traditional Bingsu with red beans and berries. And then I will introduce Subak Bingsu in another post. It is actually too simple but it's quite irresistible.

To make Korean shaved ice or Bingsu, either a ice shaver machine like the one below or a snow cone machine works best. I think you could also try using your blender if you have a blender that crushes ice and can make smoothies. I bought this one few days ago for just $12 at Mitsuwa, a Japanese grocery store. You freeze the ice in the round container and once it's frozen, you take out the ice and put the round block of ice into the machine. Then you screw the top on and hand crank/shave the ice. Unless you are serving a HUGE amount of people, this low cheap tech machine will work great with just a bit of elbow grease. 😉

Note on ingredients

Misugaru (미숫가루) is a powder made from several roasted grains. Usually sweet rice, brown rice, barley, soy beans, sorghum, black beans and Job's tears are roasted and made into powder. Besides adding it to Bingsu, Koreans love to make cold misugaru drink by mixing the powder, honey and ice water. Imagine the sweet nutty goodness of peanut butter without the fat. It's a great multi-grain drink for kids and adults alike. You can buy it here at my store if you don't have a store nearby.

Bingsu tteok(빙수떡) is also called Mini mochi rice cake in the US. These are little sweet rice cakes that adds great chewy texture. You may have seen these at frozen yogurt shops like Pinkberry, Yogurtland, etc.

Ingredients for Bingsu - Misugaru (roasted grain powder), sweet red beans, sweet condensed milk, bingsu tteok

Bingsu - Korean shaved ice with berries

Servings 2 Time: 8 min Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

ice shaver machine and ice (Note 1 serving = 2 cup in volume of shaved ice)

1/2 cup sweet red beans or adzuki beans (1/4 cup per serving)

2 Tbs sweetened condensed milk (1 Tbs per serving)

2 Tbs misugaru (미수가루) or roasted grains powder (1 Tbs per serving)

2~3 Tbs bingsu tteok or mini mochi rice cake (1.5 Tbs or 1 heaping Tbs per serving)

6 strawberries, sliced

1/2 cup blueberries (1/4 cup per serving)

1. If using a special round container for the ice, fill with water and put in the freezer to make ice. Some machines, like mine above, will let you make shaved ice from regular ice cubes also. This is nice to have since you may not always have the special ice ready or have enough of it.

2. Open cans, package and clean berries and prepare each of the toppings for assembly.

3. Slice strawberries.

4. Shave the ice into a bowl large enough to hold everything.

5. Order of toppings is not terribly important but to coat ice evenly, you may want to sprinkle the misugaru on ice using a small sieve.

6. Add berries and tteok/mini mochi rice cake. Spoon sweet red beans on top or on the side and then drizzle sweetened condensed milk. Don't you feel cool just looking at it??

7. Follow along on social for more Korean recipe inspiration!

Bingsu with sweet red beans - Korean Shaved Ice Dessert

Bingsu has many variations and it's basically however you want to make it. You can have kids make their own bingsu with their own favorite toppings. You can also top with ice cream and nuts. Enjoy!!

I love seeing what you've made! Tag me on Instagram at @Kimchimari or #kimchimari and don't forget to leave a comment & rating below!

You can substitute injeolmi tteok instead of the mini mochi cake. But you will need to slice the injeolmi into small cubes. Whatever fruits you use, you should either chop into smaller cubes or slice it thin because you don't want to be trying to cut big chunks of fruit while the ice is melting!

Enjoy and Happy July 4th!!

XOXO

Aloo tikki is a popular Indian street food snack made with boiled potatoes, aromatic spices and herbs. Aloo is the Hindi name for potatoes and tikki is a patty. So aloo tikki literally translates to potato patties. These Indian style potato patties are delicious, crisp and flavorful as a good amount of spices and herbs are used. They are eaten as a .

FEATURED VIDEO

There are 2 ways aloo tikki is made. One is with the stuffing and the other without the stuffing. The stuffed aloo tikkis are much popular in North India. The most common stuffing is made with boiled chana dal, chaat masala, herbs and spice powders.

FEATURED VIDEO

But in many other states, aloo tikki is made without stuffing. In restaurants we get to see different kinds of stuffed tikkis on their menu, made with paneer or even with keema.

In this post I am sharing a real simple and easy recipe to make crisp and perfect aloo tikkis. These are great to serve with mint chutney or to make an aloo tikki chaat. You can also place them inside a burger bun and make an aloo tikki burger.

My kids love chaats & most often I make them at home for health reasons. So in this post I have also shared tips to make aloo tikki chaat and aloo tikki burger as well towards the end of this post.

Preparation for aloo tikki

1. Rinse and peel 4 to 5 medium potatoes (about 450 to 500 grams). Boil them just until cooked. I cooked them by placing in a bowl and the bowl inside the cooker. Depending on the potatoes and the brand of cooker, you may need anywhere from 3 to 5 whistles to cook them on a medium heat. Cool them.

If using your instant pot, Place them on a trivet and pressure cook for 7 to 8 mins. Let the pressure release naturally. Then peel them.

2. Grate or mash them with a masher.

3. Ensure potatoes are completely cooled before adding the other ingredients otherwise the flour and bread crumbs will turn sticky.

4. Next add the following:

2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves

½ teaspoon ginger (grated or paste)

1 chopped green chili

¾ teaspoon garam masala

½ teaspoon chaat masala

5. Add ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ to ¾ teaspoon red chili powder. Optional - Heat 1 tablespoon ghee until very hot, add that to the red chilli powder. This removes the raw smell of the red chilli powder.

6. Optional - Then add 2 tablespoons chopped cashews (about 6 to 8).

7. Add 2 tablespoons rice flour or cornstarch (corn flour) and 4 tablespoons bread crumbs. You can substitute bread crumbs with powdered poha. To make that, add some poha to a small grinder and powder it.

8. Bind the mixture together to make a ball. Add more bread crumbs if the mixture turns sticky. Ensure the mixture is non-sticky. Sticky or soggy mixture will make soft aloo tikkis. Taste this and add more salt or spice if needed.

How to make aloo tikki

9. Divide the mixture to equal sized balls. You can make big ones to make large tikkis. But thin tikkis turn out crispy and tasty. If you are making it for burger, then divide only to 4 portions.

10. Flatten them and stick up the cracked edges.

11. Heat oil in a cast iron or non-stick pan. You can pan fry them or shallow fry them. I did the shallow frying here to make the aloo tikkis extra crisp. Do the heat test by dropping a small piece of the mixture to the hot oil. If the oil is hot enough the mixture will rise up without browning a lot.

12.Then gently slide them one after the other. Fry on a medium heat in hot oil. Do not disturb them until the base turns firm and golden. Flip them and fry on both the sides until golden and crisp. Remove them to a kitchen tissue.

Serve aloo tikki hot with mint chutney or serve as a patty in a burger. I have also shared below how to make aloo tikki chaat and aloo tikki burger below.

Here are some tips that will help you make the best Indian style potato patties.

Tips

Boiling potatoes correctly is the crucial step to make crisp and firm potato patties. Boil them just until fork tender. Avoid overcooking them. Overcooked potatoes often turn mushy and become paste like due to the excess moisture.

Mushy potatoes will need a lot of flour or bread crumbs to reduce the moisture.

How to boil them perfectly?

One way is to boil the whole potatoes in a pot without peeling the skin. Cooking them in a pot will help you keep an eye on them so they are not overcooked. You can also cook them in a pressure cooker.

The other way is to cube them and steam over a steamer or a pot. A perfectly boiled potato should be fork tender but not mushy.

Preparing the mixture: Cool the potatoes completely then mash them well with a masher. Alternately you can also grate them using a grater.

Avoid mashing them while still hot. Avoid adding the bread crumbs or flour to the potatoes when they are still hot. Both these will make the potatoes pasty and sticky.

The prepared mixture should be dry and non-sticky. Sticky mixture will make soft and mushy aloo tikkis. They may break while frying. If the mixture turns even slightly sticky use more bread crumbs or flour to absorb the excess moisture.

Tips to fry aloo tikki perfectly

Aloo tikkis are mostly shallow fried. However they can also be pan fried, air fried or grilled in an oven. If shallow frying, Oil in the pan should come to at least half the height of the aloo tikki. Use a cast iron or a non-stick pan otherwise the base of the tikkis may get stuck to the pan.

Ensure the oil is hot enough, otherwise the aloo tikkis will stick to the pan and mess up. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of prepared mixture to the hot oil. It should come up steadily without browning a lot. This is the right temperature.

After sliding the aloo tikki to hot oil, do not disturb them until the base turns firm and golden. Allow the base to firm up first, then flip them. Otherwise they will break and mess up.

Substitutes

Bread crumbs are always the best to absorb excess moisture in potatoes. However if you do not have them then toast a few slices of bread on a griddle until slightly crisp, tear them and pulse them in a dry grinder to make crumbs. Use these as a substitute to bread crumbs.

Alternately, you can also use corn starch, rice flour, poha powder or roasted gram flour (besan). To make your own poha powder, make a fine powder of flattened rice and use.

How to make aloo tikki burger?

My way of making aloo tikki burger is super simple. I toast the sliced buns with little butter.

Then spread this mint yogurt chutney, then place a lettuce, and then the aloo tikki over that. Followed by some sliced onions, tomatoes, sliced cucumbers and then smear some chutney again on the other sliced bun. Cover and enjoy.

Mint yogurt chutney goes very well in a aloo tikki burger. Alternately you can also use this green chutney or mayonnaise mixed with some tomato sauce.

How to make aloo tikki chaat?

Follow this tamarind chutney recipe and green chutney recipe to make both the chutneys. Both the chutneys must be of thick pouring consistency. If needed bring them to consistency by adding some water. Keep this aside.

Whisk half cup thick yogurt with 1 tsp of sugar and salt until the sugar dissolves completely. It must be of a pouring consistency.

Place the crisp fried aloo tikkis in a serving bowl. Pour 2 to 3 tbsps of yogurt. Followed by the tamarind chutney and green chutney. Add the chopped onions, tomatoes & coriander leaves. Then sprinkle a handful of nylon sev over it. Serve it immediately.

Troubleshooting

If the aloo tikki soaks up lot of oil, it means either the mixture has too much moisture in it or the oil is not hot enough. To fix, add more bread crumbs to the mixture. Ensure the oil is hot enough by doing the heat test.

Can I freeze the tikkis?

Yes you can. Place them on a tray and keep in the freezer until firm. Remove them and store in a freezer safe container or a zip lock bag.

When you want to use them, thaw them first and roll them in a bit of corn starch. Dust off the excess flour and fry them.

Can I crumb coat aloo tikki?

Tikkis are never crumb coated. But if you prefer to use them in a aloo tiki burger, then you may. Mix half cup gram flour with little water in a bowl to make a thick flowing batter. It should not be too runny or too thick.

Then dip the aloo tikki in the batter and coat it well with the prepared batter. Immediately place the aloo tikki in bread crumbs and coat it well. Press down gently so the bread crumbs stick to the tikki.

Repeat these steps and crumb coat all of the aloo tikkis. Set aside for 10 mins and fry them as mentioned below. Typically oil in your pan should be atleast to half the height of aloo tikki. This way they turn extra crisp. You can check my veg burger recipe for the same step by step pictures.

Once you have a learner permit, you must

obey the learner permit restrictions on where and when you may drive

complete a 5-hour Pre-licensing Course or a high school or college Driver Education Course

get an appropriate amount of supervised driving practice

If you are under age 18, you must wait at least six months from the date you received your learner permit to schedule your road test

What is the Pre-Licensing Course and how do I find one?

It is a DMV-approved, standardized course that provides the knowledge you will need as a new driver. The course covers many important topics, including

driving within the highway transportation system

driver habits and skills

feelings, attitudes, and risk-taking

alcohol, other drugs, and driving

You can find the course curriculum and other information in the Pre-Licensing Course Instructor's Manual (PDF) (MV-277). There is also a Pre-licensing Course Student's Manual (PDF) (MV-277.1) to help you reinforce the important information contained in the Pre-Licensing Course.

The Classroom Pre-Licensing Course is available through high schools, colleges, and many driving schools and is taught in person or via distance learning. An Online Pre-Licensing Course is also available to license applicants at least 18 years of age. To find Classroom Pre-Licensing Course providers in your area, search online for "Driving Instruction" or use our driving school locator.

When you complete the Classroom Pre-Licensing Course, you will be given a Pre-licensing Course Certificate (MV-278). If you complete a high school or college Driver Education course, you will receive a Student Certificate of Completion (MV-285), and you do not need a Pre-licensing Course Certificate (MV-278). Unless you have taken the Online Pre-Licensing Course, you must have one of these certificates to schedule your road test. You must bring the original certificate to your road test to turn in to the license examiner.

* The Pre-licensing Course will not give you hands-on driving instruction. For supervised driving instruction, please see our driving school locator.

Can I take the Pre-Licensing Course online?

Applicants who are at least 18 years of age have the option to take an Online Pre-Licensing Course offered by DMV-approved providers through the Pre-Licensing Course Internet Pilot Program. Both the online and classroom versions of the Pre-Licensing Course cover the same content and provide the knowledge you will need as a new driver.

You can take the Online Pre-Licensing Course as long as you:

are at least 18 years of age, and

possess a valid New York State Learner Permit, and

have access to a device capable of connecting to the internet.

You will not receive a completion certificate for this course. The course provider will report your completion of the course electronically to DMV (usually within 48 hours). Once your completion is entered on your permit record, you can schedule your road test either online or by telephone at 1-518-402-2100.

For how long will my Pre-licensing Course Certificate be valid?

Your Pre-licensing Course Certificate is valid for one year from the date it is issued. A Student Certificate of Completion of Driver Education is valid for two years. If your Pre-licensing Course Certificate expires, you must complete the course again to receive the certificate required to schedule a road test.

Your certificate must be valid on the date that you make your Road Test appointment but can be expired on the date you take your road test.

Do I need a Pre-Licensing Course Certificate to change my license from one class to another?

No, you do not need a Pre-licensing Course Certificate or a Student Certificate of Completion if you have a valid NY State driver license and you apply to amend to another license Class.

How much supervised practice driving must I get before I take my road test?

If you are under age 18, before you take your road test you must

have a minimum of 50 hours of supervised practice driving with

at least 15 hours at night (after sunset)
