How to make Colored Spaghetti for Kids:
- The first step to prepare the fun colored spaghetti is to prepare the ingredients.
- Keep in mind that you can usually find food coloring in the confectionery sectionof the supermarket or specialized stores.
- The dye will only add color at no time does it change the flavor of the food so don’t worry about it.
- With this in mind, we proceed to make the pasta for childrenin the traditional way.
- To do this, boil water with a little salt and when it starts to boil, cook the spaghetti for about 7-8 minutes.
- You can add a few basil leaves to the water; they will give a wonderful flavor to the spaghetti.
- When the pasta is al dente, add a little oil to the pot and stir, this will prevent the spaghetti from sticking. Pass through a strainer and wash with a good stream of water.
- If you are wondering now how to paint the spaghetti, then the answer is below. First divide the pasta into two halves and place it in plastic bags.
- I have divided it into two because I will paint the spaghetti in two colors, but you can divide it into the number of colors you want for your spaghetti.
- Now, add in each bag a couple of tablespoons of water and food coloring with the following combination:
- For the blue color, 20 drops of blue food coloring, for the violet, 15 drops of red food coloring and 5 drops of blue.
- Close the bags and mix well. Go shaking the bag and you will see how the color begins to spread little by little.
- Do not be alarmed if you see that the color is not uniform, keep stirring and the color will change.
- When it already has the color, take the paste out of the bags and pass it through the strainer.
- With this same procedure you can paint any type of paste.
- Now brush it with a little butter and enjoy!
- Although to finish this recipe I have completed it with some octopus-shaped sausages. To make them, cut some sausages as shown in the photograph.
- Then take it to a hot frying panwith a little oil and when they start to cook you will see how the tentacles that you have previously cut open.
- All that remains is to decorate the plate with a lot of imagination and serve the colored spaghettiaccompanied by a good mango smoothie to enjoy a fun and healthy meal with your children
