Introduce the recipe for colorful pasta and mention the use of dehydrated vegetable powders for color.

Measure out 140 g (5 oz) of Italian 00 flour and 60 g (2 oz) of fine semolina.

Crack 2 whole eggs into a bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of spirulina powder for green color, 2 teaspoons of beetroot powder for red, and 2 teaspoons of purple sweet potato powder for purple.

Beat the eggs and gradually add the flour mixture while mixing.

Knead the dough by hand for around 10 minutes until it reaches a firm consistency.

If the dough feels too dry, continue kneading and cover it with a bowl for 5 to 10 minutes to relax the gluten.

After resting, knead the dough again until it becomes softer and easier to work with.

Wrap the finished pasta dough in cling film or place it in an airtight container.

Leave the dough in the fridge overnight before rolling it out.
