Instructions: The best pasta to use for this dish is vermicelli (which in Italian means little worms!).

Cook the vermicelli in lots of boiling water for 7-8 minutes. After dad drains it, he should divide it into three separate bowls.

While vermicelli is still hot, add blue food colouring to one bowl, red to another and leave the third one its natural colour. Gently stir the vermicelli in the first two bowls until it is well coloured.

Spoon some of each of the worms on to plates and serve with your favourite jam.
