Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

4. Mix in Cream and Honey: Stir in the heavy cream and honey. Allow the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Incorporate Cheese and Spices: Gradually add grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, mixing well until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
