If I add boiled spinach to pasta, will the pasta turn green?

I tried to turn my linguine green by adding spinach to it, but have failed time and time again. First, I tried putting raw spinach into a pan with boiled linguine. Then I tried putting cooked spinach in with the cooked pasta and it doesn't turn green.

I've seen in done, on Iron Chef albeit. It takes hardly any time at all, but I can't do it!

Thanks, Sonnie. I hope I get a good answer.

I've seen it with my own eyes. I didn't believe it at first, but I have seen that Iron Chef episode repeatedly.

Here are the steps from the IC episode:
1) boil linguine, drain, save some of the water used to boil the pasta
2) heat pan with dried scallop, olive oil and some more of the pasta water
3) drop in the pasta, add salt and red chili
4) add spinach (don't know if it's raw, but it looks lightly boiled).

Within seconds of adding the spinach, the pasta starts turning green! Inexplicable!

Last bit of added detail:
- the pasta that was used on the Iron Chef episode was dried linguine
- it took the chef very little spinach to turn his pasta green!

Hmmm, I don't see how the spinach will turn the pasta green. The pasta that is green already has spinach in it. I suppose if you really wanted green pasta, you could try boiling it with green food coloring, but that would only make it look like you were serving it for St. Paddy's day.

I'm looking forward to somebody giving you a good answer.
