To prepare, simply open the can and pour the contents into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot throughout. Alternatively, you can microwave the meal. Pour it into a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated. Be careful when handling the hot contents. It is best served immediately after heating for optimal texture and temperature.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a traditional soup, this product is a complete meal with pasta already incorporated. It offers a thicker, more substantial consistency than many liquid soups. The creamy tomato base also sets it apart from broth-based pasta dishes or simple tomato sauces.
