To prepare this frozen skillet meal, you will typically need to heat a skillet or frying pan on the stovetop. You then add the contents of the package directly into the hot pan. Stirring occasionally is usually required as the meal heats through. The goal is to ensure the pasta is tender and the sauce is fully heated and creamy. Some variations might suggest adding a small amount of water or oil, but follow the specific instructions on the packaging for best results. It is designed to be ready in minutes.
