A simple and delicious baked feta pasta recipe that went viral on TikTok. It’s easy to make and perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 block (7-8 oz) feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz pasta (like penne or spaghetti)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish.
  3. Add the block of feta cheese in the center of the tomatoes.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and feta.
  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is soft and golden.
  7. While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  8. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Mash the feta and tomatoes with a fork to create a creamy sauce.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to coat with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like chopped bell peppers or spinach.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
