This was delicious! I loved the creamy sauce and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the bacon was a bit too greasy. I would probably not make this again.

I'm not a huge fan of cheddar cheese, but I thought this dish was still pretty good. The sauce was creamy and the bacon added a nice flavor. I would definitely make this again with a different type of cheese.

Meh. It was okay. The sauce was a bit bland and the bacon was a bit too crispy. I probably won't make this again.

Not a fan. The sauce was too thick and the pasta was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cheddar bacon penne was a hit with my family! The sauce was creamy and cheesy, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. I will definitely be making this dish again.
