To prepare, you will boil the included pasta until tender. While the pasta cooks, you typically warm milk and melt butter in a separate saucepan. The cheese powder is then whisked into the warm milk and butter mixture until a smooth sauce forms. Once the pasta is drained, it is returned to the pot and the cheese sauce is poured over it, then stirred to coat each piece evenly. The dish is then ready to serve.
