To prepare, you typically heat the contents of the package. This can be done in a microwave or on a stovetop. For stovetop heating, you would usually combine the pasta and sauce in a saucepan and warm them over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Microwave instructions usually involve placing the contents in a microwave-safe dish and heating for a specified time, stirring halfway through. Ensure the sauce is fully melted and the pasta is hot before serving.
