I found this recipe awhile ago, and I make it at least once every two weeks. It’s easy for nights I get home late, and delicious, and easy to customize. I add sauteed onions and garlic when I have time and garlic and onion powder when I’m feeling lazy. I usually make half the pasta to up the sauce ratio.

To quote my husband, “THIS STUFF IS DANGEROUS”. Nobody at the table could keep from getting one more spoonful. Sooooo good.

Simple, delicious and full of flavor. I didn’t change a thing! Loved this recipe.

YUM! This was really good and creamy, and let’s face it – EVERYTHING is better with bacon.
I did have problems with my sauce kind of drying up…the past just soaked it up, but it didn’t affect the flavor. I think next time I will double the sauce.
Since it was so rich and creamy I did finely chop some tomatoes and green onion to stir in at the last minute…just to counter the richness. It was a great balance, and my 3yr old just gobbled it up!
Thanks for the great recipe!

Like a few of the other posters my husband and I found it a little bland but it’s a great base from which to add to. I happened to have leftover peas so I heated them up and added them to my dish making it tastier. I will be making it again but with additions. I like some of the suggestions that others have put in.

Made this tonight for dinner, and it was a HIT!! I made the following changes/additions.
* I used bacon ends and pieces, not “pretty” bacon. Tastes just as good, and cheaper.
* I made more sauce – Used an entire 8 oz block of cream cheese, a 5 oz container of shredded Parmesan cheese, probably 1.5 cu of half and half (was what I had).
* Only 2 eggs for the sauce ( all I had on hand).
* No pepper flakes,and a peppercorn medly grinder that I use.
* Regular penne pasta, not whole wheat.
We liked it VERY saucy. Used some extra half and half to thin out the sauce a little as it cooled. Absolutely Delicious!.. WILL be making this again.

I’ve also made this twice. The first time I did it exactly as written. The second time I doubled everything in the sauce and added red pepper flakes to the sauce. I’ll make it again, with the sauce doubled, with an additional 1/2 cup cream and butter stirred into the pasta before adding the sauce. It was really yummy to begin with, but we really like lots of sauce.
