To prepare, you will typically need to boil the included pasta until tender. While the pasta cooks, you would usually drain and add canned tuna to a saucepan. Then, you would combine the contents of the sauce mix with a liquid, such as water or milk, and heat it until thickened. The cooked pasta is then stirred into the creamy sauce along with the tuna, creating a complete meal. Some variations might involve baking the mixture for a crispy topping.
How it differs from similar foods
This mix differs from plain pasta by including a pre-seasoned sauce component. It also offers a specific flavor profile, creamy parmesan, and is designed to incorporate tuna, unlike more general pasta mixes that might be a blank canvas for other additions.
