To prepare, you will typically boil the included pasta until tender. While the pasta cooks, you'll usually combine the seasoning packet with milk and butter in a saucepan, heating it until it thickens into a sauce. Once the pasta is drained, you'll stir it into the sauce along with drained canned tuna. The mixture is then heated through, allowing the flavors to meld together. It's a straightforward process that results in a hearty, creamy pasta dish ready to serve.
