Enjoy your Maggi, your own way!

If you've grown up in India, you've probably grown up eating Maggi for a snack! We all are such a huge fan of these instant noodles that even today, I get cravings for it, which is weird, I know but somehow, you are never too old for Maggi Noodles!

Also, if you have grown up with Maggi, you probably must have experimented with it too. Everyone has their favourite way of eating Maggi and I knew I had to share my favourite Maggi recipes with you guys. It's not the best thing in the world to eat - I admit but it's like that second slice of chocolate cake that you know you can't resist.

So first up is my version of an Italian Maggi. Not all of these versions use the Maggi tastemaker because sometimes we just don't need it, irrespective of how awesome it is.

I use store-bought red pasta sauce so that it's still a five-minute recipe and doable at home. This one uses mushrooms and olives but go ahead, make this your own! Add some chicken to your Maggi and make it Italian Chicken Maggi with some broccoli. You can also do it in white sauce instead of red. In every way possible, Maggi still tastes great!
