To prepare, remove the lid and cheese sauce packet. Add hot water to the fill line indicated on the cup and stir. Empty the cheese sauce packet into the cup and stir thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and coats the pasta. Let it stand for a few minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the liquid and the sauce to thicken. Stir again before eating.
How it differs from similar foods
