To prepare, simply remove the lid and any inner seals. Add water to the fill line indicated on the cup. Stir the contents thoroughly. Microwave on high for the time specified on the packaging, typically a few minutes. Carefully remove the cup from the microwave, as it will be hot. Stir again to ensure the cheese sauce is fully incorporated and the pasta is evenly coated. Let it stand for a moment before enjoying.
