Bring the sauce mix up to boiling point. then turn down to simmer stirring occasionally till its reduced into more of a sauce type texture.
While the sauce is simmering..

Start boiling some water in a pot for your pasta, once boiling add your pasta and cook.

Strain when cooked( put strained pasta back in pot), and the sauce is ready.(should be by this time

Then to serve you can either.. add the sauce into the drained pasta in the pot.. and mix that around. or Put the plain pasta in serving bowls and spoon the sauce on top.
