To prepare, simply place the sealed bag into a pot of boiling water or into a microwave according to the package directions. The steaming process cooks the pasta and heats the sauce simultaneously. Once heated through, carefully remove the bag from the heat, cut it open, and serve the rigatoni and marinara directly onto a plate. It is designed for immediate consumption after heating.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried pasta that requires separate boiling and sauce preparation, this product combines all components in a single, pre-portioned package. The steaming method is intended to achieve a specific al dente texture for the rigatoni, which can differ from boiling methods.

This meal is ideal for busy individuals seeking a fast and easy way to enjoy a hot pasta dish.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion immediately after heating. Ensure the package is tightly sealed if storing leftovers. It is best consumed within a day or two of initial preparation.
