RED, WHITE & BLUE SPAGHETTI NOODLES
06/29/2023I’m not even a kid and I think red, white and blue noodles are so fun! We are absolutely having these for dinner this weekend to celebrate Independence Day.
The process only takes a few minutes longer than making regular ‘ol boring noodles. Just divide the cooked noodles equally into three gallon-sized Ziploc bags. Add food coloring and water to two of the three bags and olive oil to the “white” bag of noodles. See full printable recipe below.
I used spaghetti noodles but any type of noodle should work. Think red, white and blue fettuccini, red, white and blue buttered noodles or red, white and blue pasta salad. How fun!
This recipe was created with spaghetti noodles, but any type noodle will work.
Ingredients
1 pound noodles, cooked
1 teaspoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon blue food coloring
4 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons olive oil
Directions
- Divide cooked noodles evenly into three gallon-sized Ziploc bags.
- In the first bag, add 1 teaspoon red food coloring and 2 tablespoons water to the noodles.
- In the second bag, add 1 teaspoon blue food coloring and 2 tablespoons water to the noodles.
- Seal Ziploc bags and massage food coloring into the noodles until completely saturated.
- In the third bag, add olive oil and mix. The olive oil will help prevent the "white" noodles from absorbing the red or blue colors when mixing the noodles.
- Before mixing all noodles together, rinse the red and blue noodles to remove any excess color.
- Do not mix noodles in advance or colors may bleed.
- Serve with any sauce of choice.
