To prepare, you will typically boil the rice pasta in water until it is tender. Once the pasta is cooked, you drain any excess water. Then, you add the included dried cheddar cheese seasoning packet along with a source of fat, such as butter or oil, and a liquid like milk or water. Stir everything together until the cheese sauce is smooth and coats the pasta evenly. The goal is to create a warm, cheesy dish ready to serve.
