To prepare, you will typically boil the included pasta until it is tender. While the pasta cooks, you will prepare the cheese sauce. This usually involves combining the cheese sauce mix with milk and butter in a saucepan. Stirring the mixture over medium heat allows it to thicken into a smooth sauce. Once the pasta is drained, you combine it with the prepared cheese sauce. Stir everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
