To prepare, simply remove the film from the tray. Place the tray on a paper towel in the microwave and heat on high for the time indicated on the packaging, usually around 5 to 7 minutes. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even heating and sauce consistency. Let it stand for a minute or two after heating before enjoying. It can also be heated in a conventional oven according to package directions for a slightly different texture.
