This Rainbow Pasta Instagram Feed Will Brighten Your Day

There’s just so much comfort in knowing that there’s a box of pasta in the cabinet waiting to be cooked into a quick and easy dinner. It helps that difficult days become a whole lot better with just one twirl of a piping hot forkful of spaghetti and meatballs. Or you know, any of your favorite meat recipes. But, thanks to one Instagrammer, we’re seeing pasta in a whole new light.

Happy #NationalRavioliDay! Did you know that the word #ravioli is thought to be rooted in an older Italian dialect word that means "little turnip"? I hope you have time to celebrate filled pasta in style today, perhaps by making one of these. From top L corner, clockwise: #fagottini #casunziei #raviolone #culurgiones #agnolotti #cappelletti #anolini #triangoli & in the middle, #caramelle. 9 shapes with 5 different fillings. My arms are tired!

Linda Miller Nicholson is changing the pasta game in a major way with her naturally dyed homemade pasta noodles. Her colorful creations range from dark as coal (thanks to activated charcoal) to bright-as-the-sun (that’d be from spices like harissa or turmeric) have already amassed more than 90 thousand followers..

Pasta clothes! A few months back (December, so brrr!) my talented fashion photographer friend @deboraspencer came over & shot photos of me in various pieces of pasta clothing I made a la minute. Crazy to think this skirt & top is made of flour, eggs, parsley, & turmeric- nothing else. #pastadress

She’s even made clothing (yup) out of thick noodles. Just look at this yellow halter and green skirt combo that’s made out of nothing but pasta. “Crazy to think this skirt & top is made of flour, eggs, parsley, & turmeric — nothing else,” she wrote as a caption.

Which noodle is your favorite?

She even has experimented with stripes, spots, and argyle patterns too. The fun carbs’ vibrant colors are brightening her feed and our eyes with each post. That could possibly be from hunger, we haven’t decided yet.

I call it, Girl with a Noodle Earring. When you're done gazing upon her visage, you can eat her. Maybe I could market this series to sociopaths who like pasta? Innn other news, faces are HARD. Sorry for making child's play of your work, Vermeer. I hope there's plenty of room in your grave to roll over comfortably.

And one of the most impressive ways she uses her colorful pasta is to remake real-life masterpieces like Vermeer’s “The Girl With a Pearl Earring.” Of course, in this case, she entitled it “The Girl with a Noodle Earring.” She also pasta-nated a Van Gogh and Munich painting.
