To prepare, you will typically boil the included shell pasta until it is tender. Once the pasta is cooked, you drain any excess water. Then, you add the buffalo-flavored cheese sauce to the pot with the drained pasta. Stir everything together until the pasta is evenly coated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. The heat from the pasta helps to melt and combine the sauce. It is ready to serve immediately after mixing.
