glossy lipstick red pasta; not tomato pasta or any pasta made from a vegetable that colors it. when pasta boils it loses that bright color. i use a bit of beet poison: boil vermicelli in this liquid. it's tricky 2 arrive at 'al dente' (oftimes i have 2 sacrifice that quality); adding oil 2 the liquid helps, but no guarantee. so i do it anyway. the photo i offer is def not great; it is what it is: the color is true. i usually toss my glossy red pasta with any/everything in the fridge::: after achieving the color i'm in sheer desperate hunger.
