Tinkyada + Nomato = Pinkyada?

Hi everyone.

I had been planning to make gluten-free, dairy-free, nightshade-free lasagna (yes, lasagna, without any of the traditional main ingredients), and finally got around to it a few days ago. I had already come up with a dairy-free "ricotta cheese" recipe, and figured I'd mimic the tomato-free sauce called Open Original Shared Link.

The sauce is basically carrots, beets, citric acid, ascorbic acid, and a healthy portion of onion, garlic, and spices. To my amazement, the sauce turned out incredibly well. It looked, smelled, and tasted like tomato sauce! (this gets me one major step closer to having gluten-free pizza)

So, I put it all together in the usual manner, and baked it in the oven. Looked great, smelled great, and tasted great. That is, except for one minor detail - the lasagna noodles had actually turned pink! I don't recall this ever happening with tomato sauce, but since this is the first time I used Tinkyada with a red sauce, I don't know if it was the pasta or the sauce that was responsible for the Technicolor Transformation.

Does Tinkyada usually turn pink in tomato sauce? Has anyone used Nomato, or made their own equivalent? If so, does the pasta soak up the color?

I use Tinkyada all the time and have never seen it turn pink - sounds pretty though. :-) I would guess the beets are responsible too.

You might be on to something, Rice Guy! If this gets out to the world, every little girl is going to want pink pasta for dinner....LOL. Can you market it?

I agree with the beet theory. I use Tinkyada all the time with tomato sauce and it's never turned pink. I like the sound of it though! :D

My best guess would be that it was the sauce you used. Beets are great for dyeing and staining things. :)

Gotta be the beets :D

And Riceguy, I have to ask--what did you use for the ricotta? I can do tomato sauce, but lasagne eludes me because of the ricotta. I've heard of using mashed potato, which also sounds good.

Bet they'd turn pink, too...... ;):P

Thanks everyone. I was also thinking it was the beets. Interestingly, the color of the carrots showed through slightly after the sauce was cooked. So I added more beets, but didn't have time to cook it again. Perhaps if I had, it may have reduced the color bleeding into the pasta.

And Riceguy, I have to ask--what did you use for the ricotta? I can do tomato sauce, but lasagne eludes me because of the ricotta. I've heard of using mashed potato, which also sounds good.

I actually put some soft tofu, shredded coconut, lecithin, and water through the blender until the coconut was properly pulverized. Then added salt, a bit of citric acid, and Stevia to taste. It's been a while since I last tasted ricotta, but I think both texture and taste were pretty close. However, I don't think it really needed the tofu, so next time I'll try coconut, lecithin, and a bit of xanthan. If you don't have lecithin, an egg or two should work just fine.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
