To prepare, you will typically boil the included pasta until tender. After draining the water, you add butter and milk to the pot. The cheese powder is then stirred in until a smooth, creamy sauce forms, coating the pasta. The amount of milk and butter can be adjusted slightly to achieve your desired sauce consistency. It is important to stir continuously to prevent clumping and ensure the cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
