Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C. Cook pasta in a saucepan of boiling water following packet directions until al dente. Drain.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, for 4-5 mins or until crisp. Whisk the cream, mustard and honey in a medium bowl. Season.

Transfer the pasta to a 12-cup (3L) ovenproof dish. Add the bacon and spring onion and stir to combine. Add the cream mixture and stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly with cheddar. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown.

Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
Recipe tip
Swap me: Got other short pasta, such as spirals or shells, in the pantry? Use either, or a mix of both, instead of penne in this recipe.
