To prepare, you will typically boil the included pasta until it is tender. After draining the water, you return the pasta to the pot. Then, you add butter and milk, stirring until they are melted and combined. Finally, the cheese powder is mixed in, and you stir everything together until the sauce is smooth and coats the pasta evenly. It is best served warm, straight from the pot.
