To prepare this macaroni and cheese, you will typically boil the Goldfish pasta shapes in water until they are tender. Once the pasta is cooked, you drain any excess water. Then, you add the included cheese sauce powder and butter to the pot with the pasta. Stir everything together until the sauce is smooth and coats the pasta evenly. It is important to ensure the sauce is fully incorporated for the best flavor and texture. The entire process is designed to be completed in under 15 minutes, making it a very accessible meal.
