Instructions
Cook penne pasta according to package directions.
Cut bacon into small strips and place in a medium/high skillet stirring constantly until crispy. Add the chopped onions, salt, and pepper and cook until the onions are transparent. Add the corn, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh thyme, and stir together. Add the cooked and drained penne pasta, and turn the heat down to low.
In a small bowl, whisk the cream and egg together, and pour over the pasta. Sprinkle in the 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Continue to stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
Pour pasta into 4 oven safe bowls, top evenly with cheddar and parmesan cheese, and drizzle with olive oil. Place under the broiler on low until melted.
Serve immediately.
