To prepare, you will typically boil the dried macaroni pasta in water until it is tender. While the pasta is cooking, you will prepare the cheese sauce. This usually involves melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in the cheese sauce powder, and then gradually adding milk, stirring until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Once the pasta is drained, it is combined with the prepared cheese sauce and stirred until evenly coated. The dish is then ready to serve.
