Macaroni and Cheese French style

Macaroni and cheese or Mac and Cheese is a world famous recipe that exist all over the planet, france included. and as you would expect, yes, the French version is somehow different. however, I believe that it is really great to have a version from every country to be able to try it out for yourself and see what the differences is.
For this recipe you will need:

Directions:
- Start by cooking the macaronis in a large sauce with boiling water and salt.
- While the pasta are cooking put a saucepan on medium heat and pour in the cream, milk, nutmeg salt and peper and bring gently to the boil.
- Once the milk and cream mix boils and the pasta are cooked transfer the milk an cream mix in a large bowl and the cooked pasta on top. mix well and leave to rest for a few minutes.
- while the pasta mix is resting coat a large baking dish with butter ( the dish we you will useto bake the macaronis) then sprinkle some finely sliced garlic all over the bottom of the dish.
