How To Make Homemade Tri-Colored Pasta Noodles
by Texas Homesteader ~
I remember when I first found out how easy homemade pasta is to make. Now pasta purists typically use a special pasta flour called semolina. And of course when I first started making homemade pasta I did too.
But y’all know I’m far from a purist with anything, especially in the kitchen! I want quick, easy & delicious without special ingredients.
So I now just typically use plain ole all-purpose flour for my homemade pasta noodles and they always turn out great!
Flour – salt – egg – water and BOOM!
Now don’t tell anyone else how easy it really is – people always seem to be impressed to find out when someone makes their own pasta! So don’t rat me out, m’kay?? Pinky swear??
Recently I decided I’d try to make colored/flavored pasta using powdered dehydrated vegetables from my garden last year. I knew I had dehydrated Malabar Spinach in the pantry, and dehydrated carrots too!
Come see what I did.
