To prepare, the dried macaroni is usually boiled in water until tender. While the pasta cooks, the cheese sauce is made by combining the powder with milk and butter in a separate saucepan, heating and stirring until smooth. Once the pasta is drained, the prepared cheese sauce is added and mixed thoroughly to coat each piece. It is then ready to be served hot.
