    What's the story

    Creating your own rainbow pasta is not only a fun culinary project but also a creative way to boost your well-being.

    This activity combines the joy of cooking with the therapeutic benefits of engaging in a colorful, artistic endeavor.

    By making something beautiful and edible, you can uplift your mood, lower stress, and enjoy a delicious homemade meal.

    Color selection

    Choosing natural colorants

    The first step in creating your rainbow pasta masterpiece is choosing natural colorants.

    For red, opt for beet juice; for orange, carrot juice is your go-to; spinach juice provides the perfect green; and for blue or purple, blueberry or blackberry juice are your best bets.

    These natural colorants not only impart beautiful hues to your pasta but also add a bonus of extra nutrients.

    Dough basics

    Preparing the dough

    First, take two cups of all-purpose flour.

    Combine them in a bowl until a dough forms.

    Now, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's smooth and elastic.

    Divide the dough into as many portions as the number of colors you want to create, add the corresponding natural colorant to each portion, and knead again.

    Creative shapes

    Shaping your pasta

    Once your dough is all colored up, get creative with shaping your pasta.

    Roll it out and slice it into strips for classic fettuccine, or grab a cookie cutter and make fun shapes like stars or hearts.

    Got a pasta machine? Now's the time to play around with those different attachments.

    Try out different shapes and textures for a pasta party your taste buds won't forget.

    Perfect al dente

    Cooking your rainbow pasta

    To cook your beautiful rainbow pasta to perfection (al dente), first bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

    Then add your pasta and let it cook for two to four minutes, depending on how thick you rolled it out.

    Remember, fresh homemade pasta cooks way quicker than the dried stuff you get from the store, so watch it closely to make sure it doesn't turn mushy.

    Plating ideas

    Serving suggestions

    Pair your rainbow pasta with simple sauces that won't overpower its vibrant colors.

    A light garlic and olive oil dressing or a mild cream sauce would be perfect.

    Sprinkle fresh herbs like basil or parsley to introduce another layer of color and flavor without diminishing the visual appeal of your dish.

    Done!
