Slowly add the water, whisking continuously, until smooth. Add the milk, half-and-half, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder, dash of nutmeg, and the pasta. Bring to a low boil and stir often as pasta cooks. Follow your pasta cooking time but be sure to test towards the end. You want the pasta to be al dente.
