How a Seattle woman made a career out of sculpting colorful pasta art

SEATTLE — Linda Miller Nicholson once constructed kitchen cabinets partially made of pasta for supermodel Gigi Hadid.

The cabinet's separating the kitchen and living room of Hadid's Manhattan penthouse are brimming with dried orange and blue farfalle, bird's nests of red tagliatelle and green garganelli, which you can see through the transparent cabinet doors. To complete the project, Nicholson flew from Seattle to New York with 70 pounds of pasta in her suitcase.

Nicholson's Instagram account, @saltyseattle, which has almost 300,000 followers, features images of multicolored dinosaurs made of pasta, unicorns made of pasta, roses made of pasta and even pasta portraits of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Breonna Taylor. Nicholson creates these colors by blending brightly colored plants into the dough.
