To prepare, you will typically boil the included macaroni pasta according to package directions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, you will prepare the cheese sauce. This usually involves melting butter in a saucepan, then whisking in milk and the cheese powder blend. Continue to stir the sauce over low heat until it thickens and becomes smooth. Once the pasta is drained, combine it with the prepared cheese sauce, stirring until all the macaroni is evenly coated. Serve immediately.
