If you can't remember how or this is your first time doing Meals In A Jar click here Meals In A Jar Assembly to go back and learn 






Instructions on cooking the meals in a jar

(a good idea would be to put the instructions on the jar)

In a sauce pan add 3 1/2 Cups of water with the contents of the jar ( don't forget to remove oxygen pac), On medium/high heat. Stir well. Cook until sauces thickens, and noodles are done, stirring occasionally, about 15 to 20 min. The sauce will thicken more once removed from the heat.
