To prepare, you typically boil the macaroni pasta in water until it is tender. After draining the water, you add the powdered cheese sauce mix along with milk and butter. Stirring these ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and coats the pasta creates the finished dish. The exact amounts of liquid and fat can be adjusted slightly to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
