Since the title "rasta" is associated with the Rastafarian movement and rasta's don't eat meat (some eat small sized fish). Typically you will find some jerk seasoning/paste, onions, scallion, cheese and cream to make the sauce. These Tri-colours represent the Rastafarian lifestyle. In short, it's a pasta based cuisine made with bell peppers - red, yellow (gold) and green. Nor did it leave me with a great financial loss, which is a bonus. I've made pasta dish a few times behind the scenes now to where I'm confident enough to share my recipe. Like so many other cuisines with time I guess they have evolved into a newer concept for the younger generation (not that I'm old, but ya know). Growing up I don't recall hearing about "rasta pasta" it definitely wasn't a recipe which my family were even aware of.
