To prepare, remove the film from the tray. Place the tray on a microwave-safe surface and cook on high power for the time indicated on the packaging, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can bake it in a conventional oven. If baking, preheat your oven and place the tray on a baking sheet. Cook until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is tender. Stirring halfway through cooking can help ensure even heating.
