Melt 4 tablespoons of honey garlic butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add 4 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter and whisk together until combined.

Gradually add 2 cups of cream to the butter-flour mixture, whisking continuously.

Bring the mixture to a boil to thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally.

Once thickened, reduce the heat to low.

Cook pasta in salted water until done, reserving some pasta water.

Add a little bit of reserved pasta water to the sauce for desired consistency.

Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

Serve the pasta and sauce, optionally topping with shrimp, chicken, or salmon.
