Notes
Can Dyed Pasta be Pre-Made?
If you make pasta ahead, add the dyes and mix them up once you store them in the fridge the color will bleed a little on the lighter colors. So the purple will bleed onto the yellow. It’s not a big deal and looks like its “tied dyed”. If you plan to serve the next day, I’d just keep in separate containers or bags before mixing, reheating and serving.
