When it comes to Barbie, you’ve got to make it pink — and that even goes for foods you might not expect. Yes, it’s easy enough to find pink-covered strawberries, pink cupcakes and other sweets. For example, pink popcorn is perfect for watching the movie with friends at home.
This recipe from @fivefootfeminine gets its pretty hue from food coloring and is flavored with sugar, vanilla and butter.

But how about pasta?
Australian fitness guru Kat Clark (@katclark) went viral after the movie first came out with her TikTok recipe for pink macaroni. It requires cooking garlic in an air fryer, blending up the other sauce ingredients, and adding that all to pasta.

The recipe for the sauce is amazingly simple: It features roasted garlic blended with feta cheese, greek yogurt and beets. In fact, if you want to avoid artificial food coloring, beets are a surprisingly versatile way to make almost any savory food pretty in pink.
Other versions of Barbie pasta use sour cream, regular cream, and different types of cheese.
TikTok cook @LookCatchu has a tasty recipe for “Barbie burgers” that calls for a sauce made from mayonnaise, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lemon juice and beetroot juice.

There are plenty of other unusual Barbie-pink foods to try as well, from sushi to elotes. All of this raises the question: Would the real Barbie actually enjoy any of this stuff? Margot Robbie, who portrays the live version of the doll, is quick to point out that in the movie as in real life, Barbie dolls don’t actually eat anything at all.
“I mean, she’s never tasted any food,” she told Buzzfeed UK. “You could probably get her some crackers and she’d be excited.”
