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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
