Pasta Roni does need milk to make it creamy although you can make the Pasta Roni without milk and add extra water and cream cheese or other milk substitutes.

You don't need butter for Pasta Roni although butter or Margarine provides better and more flavor to the Pasta Roni than oils.

However you can use vegetable oil or shortening as a substitute for butter or margarine in Pasta Roni.

You can use water instead of milk in Pasta Roni and also use 2 to 3 tbsp of cream cheese so that the Pasta Roni turns out creamy.

Pasta water does help to thicken the pasta sauce.

All you have to do is pour the Jarred Pasta Sauce onto the Pasta when ready and it's good to go.

But you don't need to cook the Jarred Pasta Sauce because it's ready to serve and eat.

When adding pasta sauce to the pasta it's best to pour the warm pasta sauce onto the pasta while the pasta is still hot.

And toss the pasta around in the sauce in the pan to mix the pasta sauce in with the pasta.
