Then I reduced the heat to medium-low and placed a lid on the pan.

I cooked the noodles, covered, for eight minutes, stirring occasionally.

After eight minutes, I removed the lid and stirred well.

Sometimes instead of the garlic and onion powder, I will use a packet of onion soup mix, if I have it in the cupboard. Also add a dash of worcestershire......
