Pink Pasta

Didn't really follow a recipe on this, just something i've been wanting to do and just saw a small thing on how to do it.

The pasta used in this was some angel hair pasta i got at a store of locally made/grown products. I think it was just slightly thinner than normal boxed angel hair, so cooked a little faster than i expected.

To color the pasta is easier than it seems, when you aren't really thinking about how it's done. All you do is just add the food coloring to the boiling water and cook the pasta as normal.

(best i could get for picture)

Since my pasta seemed to cook faster, might of had a slightly bolder color if cooked longer, or maybe if the pasta was thicker. Hard to say until i test it more. I also didn't count how many drops i used. i did some and then my daughter was trying to help me and got mad i didn't let her add the color so i ended up letting her put some more in too. Over all i think it worked well enough. will be fun to try with different colors and styles of pasta. For my pink color, i used the pink from the neon color set of food coloring.

Speaking of colors, the pink was fun on it's own, but since i mix the sauce and pasta together instead of just spooning some on the top, the pink pasta just didn't stand out that much lol. For my first try i should of done a different color to make it stand out more lol. Here's how the final turned out.
