Is it from black beans?
Are you boiling your pasta in wine?
Squid ink?
Hmmmm…The pasta isn’t blue or black so I don’t think its squid ink but maybe (if the pic color is true) black beans. but it could be a red wine too..
OR a purple cabbage…
All good (and delicious) guesses. I am definitely going to try cooking pasta in red wine now.
But no…I first blanched some purple carrots in the water and, in search of a one-pot meal, decided to boil the pasta in the same water. I was shocked that the water turned such a deep purple just from the carrots. Orange carrots don’t do that!
Oh wow! Never thought of that! Something new to try…
