Prepare the pasta dough using pasta flour, egg, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

For black pasta, add a little squid ink to the dough mixture.

For red pasta, boil one raw beetroot for half an hour, peel it, chunk it up, and blitz it with an egg before adding it to the flour mixture.

For green pasta, wilt spinach in very hot water, drain, squeeze out excess liquid, and blitz it with an egg before adding it to the flour mixture.

For yellow pasta, use two egg yolks and steep saffron to create the yellow color, then mix with flour and oil.

Knead each colored pasta dough until well combined and the right consistency is achieved.

Wrap each dough in plastic wrap and let them rest in the fridge for half an hour.

After resting, roll out the pasta and cut it into desired shapes.

Let the pasta dry for 24 hours before using.
