Instructions in Order to Dye Pasta
How to make pasta for any festive occasion
You Will Need...
1. Pasta
2. A cooking pot
3. zip lock bags or plastic containers
4. food coloring/dye
5. colander
6. salt
7. water
Place 4 to 6 Cups of Water Into the Pot
This will depend on the amount of pasta you are cooking.
Heat Water Until It Begins to Boil
This step usually takes about 10 minutes.

Wait Until Water Starts Boiling
Place the Pasta Into the Boiling Water
Cook Your Pasta Until It Is Done
Now...
Choose between using either plastic bags or plastic containers. In our case, we used plastic containers.
Add Approximately 1 Cup of Water to Each Container/plastic Bag
Add Three or Four Drops of Food Coloring to This Container of Water
Now...
place a selected portion of pasta to take on the selected color and place the pasta into the plastic bag or container with the food coloring.
Wait...
Let the pasta absorb the color of the food coloring for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Repeat Steps 6 Through 10 for Any Other Additional Colors Being Added to the Pasta.
Almost There!
Once pasta has taken on the color of the food dye, you will want to rinse the pasta in order to remove any left over food coloring.
All Done!
Now your pasta is ready to be served and eaten.
