To prepare, bring a specified amount of water and butter or oil to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the contents of the pasta packet. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. This usually takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Ensure all the liquid is absorbed for the best texture. You can add a pinch of black pepper or a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
