To prepare, you will typically need to add water and oil to a skillet along with the contents of the package. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened. The beef is usually pre-cooked and seasoned, requiring only to be heated through as it cooks with the pasta and sauce. This method ensures all components meld together for a cohesive dish.
