The history of pasta is fascinating; from the simple recipes of the ancient Romans to the modern diversity around the world, pasta has evolved and adapted to all tastes. This recipe for penne with bacon and cheese will not only satisfy your taste buds but will quickly become a family favorite.

Ingredients you will need:
- 500 g penne (one bag)
- 1 box of cheese from Delaco (with sour cream and green olives)
- 200 g sweet cottage cheese
- 200 g yogurt
- 200 g sour cream
- 1 cup of milk
- 1-2 tablespoons of butter
- 100 g grated cheese
- 3 slices of bacon (or more, to taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil (or other oil)

Steps for preparation:

1. Boiling the pasta: Start by putting a large pot of water and salt on the heat. When the water starts to boil, add the penne and cook according to the package instructions (about 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Don't forget to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

2. Preparing the bacon: While the pasta is boiling, cut the bacon into thin slices. In a skillet, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the bacon over medium heat until crispy and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes. The aroma of the fried bacon will add an extra flavor to your dish.

3. Cheese mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cheese from Delaco, sweet cottage cheese, sour cream, and yogurt. Mix well until you achieve a smooth composition. If you like a more intense flavor, you can also add some chopped green olives.

4. Assembling the dish: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and let it cool slightly. Grease a baking dish with a little oil, then add the cooked pasta. Place the fried bacon on top and pour the cheese mixture. Gently mix everything so that the ingredients combine perfectly.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven for 10-15 minutes. This step will help to blend the flavors and allow the cheese to melt beautifully.

6. Finishing the dish: Remove the dish from the oven and add the milk and a few pieces of butter on top of the dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top and return the dish to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese melts and becomes slightly browned.

7. Serving: Once the dish is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. You can garnish it with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a more colorful appearance and fresh taste.

Useful tips:
- Adjusting consistency: If you notice that the pasta absorbs too much liquid, feel free to add a little milk or water from the pasta cooking water. This way, you will achieve a creamy texture, perfect for comfort food.
- Delicious variations: For a spicier note, you can add a pinch of chili powder or a few slices of red pepper. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, for a unique taste.
- Perfect combinations: This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or a simple tomato sauce. If you want to refresh your meal, a glass of dry white wine or freshly squeezed lemonade are excellent options.
