Food Artist Creates Rainbow-Colored Pasta Using All Natural IngredientsFood writer, artist, and pasta-maker Linda Miller Nicholson (aka @saltyseattle) has a reputation for making avant-garde food. Dubbed the “Lady Gaga of Food” by the Cooking Channel, her homemade, colored pasta comes in an amazing array of rainbow colors, shapes, and designs.Inspired by patterns and hues found in nature, Nicholson sees pasta almost like textile design. Her edible collection features a repetition of patterns such as stripes, polka dots, and stars. Some pasta creations are even inspired by visual motifs found in her own clothing, such as a pair of blue patterned shoes she received as a Mother’s Day gift. Nicholson takes the textile pasta comparison even further by wearing her raw pasta sheets as head scarves or complete outfits—and they actually look pretty great! In one particular Instagram shot, wearing a pasta crop-top and skirt she says “[it’s] crazy to think this skirt & top is made of flour, eggs, parsley, & turmeric- nothing else.”Nicholson learned how to make her own pasta at the age of four, and as an adult she spent some years in Torino, Italy—at the core of the Slow Food movement—where she learned to perfect her craft. As a mother, she struggled with the common problem of trying to get her son, Bentley, to eat vegetables, so decided to disguise them as pasta. Avoiding artificial colors completely, she started making green pasta dough using leaf vegetables. Since then she has experimented with different colored doughs by using other natural ingredients, such as herbs and various superfoods.The vibrant results have not only helped make healthy meals lots of fun—and fashionable—they have even encouraged little Bentley to make his own pasta art.You can keep up to date on Nicholson’s amazing pasta-art via Instagram.Food artist Linda Miller Nicholson makes amazing rainbow-colored, patterned pasta.A post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Jul 20, 2017 at 10:15am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Aug 25, 2016 at 5:47pm PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Aug 23, 2016 at 6:10pm PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Jul 14, 2017 at 8:35am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Jul 26, 2017 at 12:54pm PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Oct 6, 2017 at 7:34am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Oct 23, 2017 at 6:48am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Aug 28, 2017 at 2:47pm PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on May 11, 2017 at 11:53am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on May 16, 2017 at 7:08am PDTUsing natural ingredients, her pasta colors range from charcoal greys…A post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Sep 5, 2017 at 9:31am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Aug 16, 2017 at 12:21pm PDT…to vibrant pinks.A post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Oct 17, 2017 at 8:46am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Aug 1, 2017 at 7:44am PDTHer pasta looks so great that she even wears it!A post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Aug 2, 2017 at 1:20pm PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Apr 18, 2017 at 8:55am PDTNicholson also uses pasta to re-create artistic masterpieces.A post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Apr 5, 2017 at 8:42am PDTA post shared by Linda Miller Nicholson (@saltyseattle) on Mar 29, 2017 at 8:32am PDTSalty Seattle: Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter h/t: [Brit + Co]All images via Linda Miller Nicholson.Related Articles:The Mouthwateringly Mesmerizing Art of Making Fresh Pasta by HandFormer Painter Demonstrates the Mouthwatering Art of Creating Fresh PastaPasta-Inspired Sterling Silver Necklaces That Help Feed the HungryThe post Food Artist Creates Rainbow-Colored Pasta Using All Natural Ingredients appeared first on My Modern Met.Credits: MYMODERNMETCondividi su: Facebook Twitter Google+ Linkedin Whatsapp Telegram Email
