I liked this dish, but was disappointed that the flavor of the pancetta didn't come through. I think I'll use sausage next time.

This recipe was amazing! Like everyone else said this needs more liquid...once I added the parmesan it soaked it all up. I loved it though and this recipe will be a constant in my house. Thanks!!!

My family loved this recipe! I read some of the other reviews and agree that it needed more liquid. I did mix the 1/2 & 1/2 with some 1% milk which was fabulous. I used 2 small cans of sliced drained mushrooms and then threw in some frozen organic spinach to make it a bit more healthy (there was a little more liquid due to the frozen spinach). I also liked the crispy pancetta that was added (original recipe didn't suggest when to add it back into the recipe so I added it where I thought best!). Will be making this again soon! Thank you for a great recipe!!!

We really liked the smoky flavors of this dish! Easy to cook and inexpensive. I sauteed some smoked sausage in a bit of the bacon grease. After the mushrooms cooked down, I added some fresh tomatoes with the garlic. I let the cream warm to a simmer then I added the meat to the sauce. So yummy!

I used bacon because it was all I had. It was still pretty good though. Next time will definately use pancetta.

This is my 11 year old son's favorite (all recipes) meal thus far. Simple to make - would not hesitiate to serve this for guests. Used a couple of shakes of oregano and basil for the Italian seasoning. I was a bit concerned at first that I did not a enough sauce for the penne - it was perfect.

Not sure if I missed something but I found it very bland...for all the fat & calories I was disappointed. I used bacon for lack of pancetta. I would recommend adding chopped onion, more garlic, and black pepper for flavor. 1T of butter is plenty if you don't wipe the pan off after the bacon.

This was absolutely wonderful. I used a Gluten-Free penne pasta and less cream/butter and it was delicious.

Just like the other reviewers said, this is as good as a restaurant dish. Double the sauce, as others noted, and make plenty...the seconds and thirds for this dish went all around. Will be making this often!

Delicious! I gave it 4 stars because the quantities are off - waaay too much pasta for the sauce, so I had to not use quite a bit, which means we will have pasta tomorrow also :) But if you use maybe 8oz of pasta and make the sauce as written, you will love it!

Very good, fairly easy pasta recipe. Buy the pancetta as it does make a difference. Added the extra cream as advised. Also topped with fresh tomato, basil & parmesan ~ Yum! Will make this again.

This wasn't bad...but not very exciting either. Added boneless skinless chopped chicken thighs and extra garlic. It was still bland. Needs chicken stock to make more sauce and a lot more seasoning. Won't make again...

Wonderful, simple flavor and easy! Only made a couple "measurement" revisions to original recipe: I used only 11 ounces of Penne as I like to make sure my pasta is not dry. I used a good heaping tablespoon of garlic as we like it, and I doubled the amount of Italian seasoning since it was the only other seasoning. I mixed the Parmesan cheese into the pasta mixture at the end so that it would blend with the sauce. Delicious! Everyone, including picky 5-year old, loved it. Will definitely make again.

Made this for my family last night and it was met with ho hum's. They complained that the sauce wasn't flavorful enough and that there wasn't enough of it. I substituted regular bacon for the Pancetta and Angel Hair for the Penne. I also doubled the amount of liquid that the recipe called for and it still wasn't enough. If I were to make this again, I would probably add some white wine, butter and some salt to the sauce to give it a bit more pep.

I used Italian sausage (because I had it) and this was wonderful. I added more cream (well, half & half) as others had suggested. This is a great basic recipe that lends itself to improvisation! Thanks!
