Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken or Tofu

    In a large bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and minced garlic. Add the chicken thighs or tofu cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and slice bell peppers, zucchini, carrot, and red onion. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Pineapple

    Slice fresh pineapple into rounds or half-moons, and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook Protein

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F). For tofu, grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from grill and let rest.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced vegetables and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 6

    Grill Pineapple

    On the same grill, add the pineapple slices and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until they have nice grill marks. Remove and set aside.

  4. 7

    Make Alfredo Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 8

    Cook Fettuccine

    Cook spinach fettuccine according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Combine and Serve

    In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine, sautéed vegetables, and alfredo sauce. Toss gently to combine. Top with grilled jerk chicken or tofu and grilled pineapple slices. Serve immediately.
