To prepare, empty the contents of the package into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the specified amount of water and stir to combine the pasta and cheese powder. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for the recommended time, usually a few minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through the cooking process for even heating and to ensure the sauce thickens properly. Let it stand for a minute or two after cooking before consuming.
