To prepare, you will typically boil the dried macaroni in water until it is tender. Once drained, the pasta is returned to the pot. The cheese sauce mix is then combined with milk and butter, stirred until smooth, and added to the pasta. Everything is mixed together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy cheese sauce. The dish is then ready to be served hot.
