Worth knowing

This is inspired by Indian street-style pasta, where Italian pasta is transformed with bold Indian flavors, sauces, and spices.
The combination of tomato sauce, Maggi Hot & Sweet sauce, and Maggi masala creates the signature street-style flavor.
Adding mayo at the end gives the pasta a creamy texture similar to the versions commonly found at Indian street stalls. Plant-based mayo works well too.
Adjust the spice level based on your preference - the Maggi sauce and masala already add salt and flavor, so taste before adding too much extra seasoning.
This recipe is very flexible - use whatever vegetables you have available for a quick weekday meal.

Day 2 plan

Best refrigerated in portions. Reheat gently with a splash of water or sauce to loosen; add fresh toppings after reheating.
