Creamy Jerk Rasta Pasta with Chicken

Posted by Manjeri Skincare Team on

Benefits:
Jerk-seasoned chicken provides protein that supports skin strength and repair, while warming spices help stimulate circulation for a healthy-looking glow. Bell peppers contribute vitamin C to support brightness and collagen production, cream adds nourishing fats that help prevent dryness, and pasta delivers comforting energy that keeps skin from looking tired or depleted. Together, this vibrant dish supports warmth, softness, and overall radiance.

Skin Concern:
Dull, tired-looking skin

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes | Serves: 4

  • Fresh parsley or scallions, for garnish

Instructions:

Shopping Tips:

  • Jerk Seasoning: Choose a well-balanced blend that isn’t overly salty.

  • Cream: Full-fat cream creates the richest, silkiest sauce.

Cooking Tips:

  • Adjust jerk seasoning to control heat level.

  • Do not boil the cream to prevent curdling.

  • Reserve a little pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
