Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high sodium content (544.6 mg per serving, which is 27% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake) and high saturated fat (2.2g per serving). While it provides a decent amount of protein, the excessive sodium and presence of flavour enhancers make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Pazzta Veggie Delight
1. Prepare the Maggi Pazzta using only half the tastemaker sachet. 2. While it simmers, stir in 1/2 cup of mixed vegetables like chopped bell peppers, carrots, and peas. 3. Cook until pasta and veggies are tender. 4. Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
Health Benefits
Boosts fiber, vitamin, and mineral content while significantly reducing the overall sodium intake.

1. Cook the Pazzta according to package directions. 2. In a separate pan, lightly sauté 50g of cubed paneer with a pinch of black pepper. 3. Add the cooked paneer and 1/4 cup of boiled chickpeas to the prepared Pazzta. 4. Mix well and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Significantly increases the protein and fiber content, making it a more balanced and satiating meal.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, Flavour Enhancer (INS 635) and Thickener (INS 508), are approved by FSSAI. While generally considered safe within regulated limits, their presence signifies a highly processed product. High consumption of foods with such additives is generally not recommended for optimal health.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made with 100% Suji/Rawa' is accurate for the pasta component. 'Goodness of Protein' is justifiable as it provides 7.4g per serving. However, the term 'Truly Good' is subjective and potentially misleading given the product's very high sodium and saturated fat content, which are significant health concerns.
