Instructions
Cook Pasta:
Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Make Sauce Base:
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown garlic).
Add Cream and Cheese:
Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in heavy cream, feta, and Parmesan. Stir continuously until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.
Add Hot Honey:
Mix in hot honey and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of pasta water if sauce is too thick.
Combine Pasta:
Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat well. Simmer for 1–2 minutes, allowing flavors to blend.
Serve:
Plate pasta and drizzle with extra hot honey. Top with fresh herbs and lemon zest if using.
