I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheddar bacon penne turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This is the best cheddar bacon penne I've ever had! The sauce is so creamy and cheesy, and the bacon is cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This pasta dish is so good! The cheddar cheese sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the bacon adds a nice salty crunch. I also love that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.

Delicious and easy to make. I used whole wheat penne and turkey bacon to make it a bit healthier. The whole family enjoyed it.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The sauce is creamy and cheesy, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor. I usually add some chopped spinach or kale for an extra boost of nutrients.

Not a fan. The sauce was too thick and the pasta was overcooked. I think I'll stick to my old pasta recipe.

Easy and delicious! I made this for dinner last night and my family loved it. The sauce is creamy and cheesy, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This cheddar bacon penne pasta is a hit! The combination of sharp cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and tender penne is a flavor explosion in every bite. I used a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and added a touch of garlic powder for extra flavor
