Spaghetti with purple cabbage is a fast first course with a very bright color. Responsible for this wonderful color are anthocyanins, molecules that color fruits such as blueberries and grapes, vegetables such as red Tropea onion. They are important antioxidants for our health, which is why a portion of purple foods should never be missing in our diet. The color of this pasta remains unchanged even after cooking. Red cabbage changes color in some dishes but only by varying acidity and alkalinity. For example, if we combine the juice of a lemon with that of red cabbage, the liquid will turn blue (increased acidity); on the contrary, adding an alkaline element will turn red.
