FAQ

Do you sell Pasta?

Tell us about your book, Linda

Tell us about your book, Linda

I sell pasta dough kits on the SHOP page of this website. I take occasional custom orders for pasta, but I do not sell pasta on a large scale. Each creation generally takes a few hours to make, and it would not be cost effective for me to price pasta competitively enough to sell.  That being said, I have thought long and hard about scaling up my pasta endeavors, and am even considering selling some pasta tools I have had to build because they did not previously exist, so watch this space for updates on when/if that happens. If you’re an entrepreneur, large company looking to develop a bespoke pasta line, or have advice in general, I would love to hear from you. linda@saltyseattle.com

Pasta, Pretty Please, is out now, and has been met with widespread critical and audience acclaim.
 

The book has 30+ recipes for different colors of dough (both sheeted & rolled, as in gnocchi). In it, I explain thoroughly how to make each color. There are also tons of recipes for shapes, patterns, & sauces. 


You can find it wherever books are sold, or check out my Amazon store here.
 

Is cooked pasta still vibrant?

Is cooked pasta still vibrant?

It depends. If you are making pasta and you want to ensure that the color is vibrant after cooking, sheet it very thin so that you don’t have to boil it for long. The shorter the amount of time the pasta is in the water, the better the color will hold. Since the color comes from vegetables, it is also more nutritionally beneficial to boil for less time. Another thing to consider is the age of the noodles. If you’re able to boil pasta within a few hours of making it, it’ll cook more quickly. Some colors stay bright more than others. If you want a vibrant finished dish, use activated charcoal, spinach, parsley, turmeric root, harissa, or butterfly pea flowers.
