Feed The Resistance: Rasta Pasta

Today is National Food Day – so, I thought we could explore one of the big food trends of 2025, according to Food & Wine Magazine.  Every year, Food & Wine makes predictions of what they believe will be the biggest food trends of the coming year.  One of their predictions for 2025 was “Fusion Pasta” – so what I made for today was a mash-up of Jamaican and Italian, or “Jam-Italian.”  Rasta Pasta with Shrimp combines Jamaican Jerk seasonings with penne pasta and shrimp.  To pair with the some-what spicy pasta, Dee brought in Bell’s Two Hearted IPA.  It’s always interesting to see how flavors play together.  Sometimes the beer changes the overall flavor of the food, and in this case, the food changed the flavor of the beer, bringing out a more pine-flavor than when you drink the beer alone, without the pasta.
