To prepare, you typically boil water in a saucepan and add the contents of the package. The pasta cooks directly in the water, absorbing the liquid and the seasoning as it softens. Stirring occasionally helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking. Once the water is absorbed and the pasta is tender, the dish is ready to serve. Some people like to add a bit of butter or cheese for extra richness.
