To prepare, remove the outer packaging and vent the plastic film. Place the tray in a conventional oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the macaroni is heated through and the topping is golden brown and bubbly. For a crispier topping, you can broil it for the last minute or two, watching carefully to prevent burning. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
