To prepare, you will boil the included pasta according to the package directions until it is tender. While the pasta is cooking, you will typically warm milk and melt butter in a separate saucepan. The powdered cheese sauce mix is then whisked into the warm milk and butter mixture until it is smooth and thickened. Once the pasta is drained, it is returned to the pot and the cheese sauce is poured over it. Everything is stirred together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Serve hot.
