Maggi or our times is Pasta of current. I feel kids talk more about Pasta than Maggi nowadays. So is Italian gaining more popularity? Well must be no wonder I see so many varieties of Pasta in the grocery stores enough to confuse me which one to take.
Penne Pasta is by far the easiest pick for me and I feel its shape allows the sauce penetrate better in the pasta hence enhancing the flavor overall. Also personally I play around a lot with the sauces to make sure the veggies get substituted enough for my comfort. So Pasta in Spinach Sauce is one such addition to my son’s favorite food list offcourse without the knowledge on the exciting green color being a veggie color. I mean where a veggie is a no no, Pasta in Spinach Sauce is such a respite and that too hassle free.
Even if you don’t have kid to feed trust me it’s equally delicious for your spouse to keep asking for more.
