This simple recipe may seem random but this is one of our favorite ways to color pasta. It is simple and adds a vibrant color to the dough (not to mention some extra nutrients). Spinach puree can also be used to color eggs, bread, or basically anything you can think of. It really doesn’t change the flavor which is the main reason we love it!
