I've made this a few times and I never use the cooking cream. Instead I use some ranch dressing coupled with the milk and cheese to make the sauce. Its SO good! If you look at the uploaded picture by "kinao," that's how mine always turns out and I swear its just as good as the pasta I like at non-Italian restaurants.

I made the recipe exactly. It was easy and very good. The next time I will add some more bacon in it.

This was good, I actually thought it was going to be better but my family enjoyed it.

I didn't really care for this combination. I tried making it twice. I made it once with the garlic cooking cream and once with the original. Both times the combination was a little too tart.

i loved this recipe, it was very excellent, after i cooked it, i put it in a pan and covered the top of it with another thin layer of cheddar cheese, when you took it out the oven.it wasnt dry i basically put it on there so the extra cheese i added melted on the top it was very delicious then topped with the bacon. my family loved it.

I thought the cheese overpowered the other ingredients so next time I make this I'll use 1/2 cup. I had no penne pasta so used elbow. This will be a good dish to play with. Mushrooms sound good.......

I am going to make this again but with some changes. There was too much sauce compared to the amount of noodles, and it was to thick to be able to kind of scrape it off. I think I will make it again with maybe the cream of mushroom some people added, also some more noodles and less cheese. I think I may also change from the garlic to the herb cooking creme. I think with a few changes my rating will go up it's a good start.
