BAKED FETA PASTA

You’ve heard of it, seen it, and maybe even made it but this version of BAKED FETA PASTA is the best.

We’re not biased or anything!

If you’re confused, let us fill you in…

This pasta dish went viral on Tik Tok (video app) this year and for good reason.

It’s an extremely simple list of ingredients with an extremely simple method of cooking.
Think level one easy!

And not to mention it’s absolutely delicious.

What more do we need to say?!

We took the viral pasta recipe and switched it up just a bit as we tend to do. We made it slightly better and even more delish with more feta and juicy tomatoes and OF COURSE more garlic.

This Baked Feta Pasta is one big block of feta, two pints of gourmet tri-color baby tomatoes, fresh garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, noodles, salt and pepper! That’s literally it. Oh and a little bit of pasta water to make it extra creamy saucy.

We’re in love and have already made it multiple times!

One the feta is baked, hence BAKED Feta Pasta, the feta is soft and bubbly and creates a mouthwatering sauce with the roasted juicy tomatoes. It’s so tasty and can be made quickly for dinner.

Garnish it off with fresh sliced basil and feel fancy AF!

FETA IS VERY SALTY SO BE MINDFUL OF NOT ADDING TOO MUCH EXTRA SALT. YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE BUT CAN’T TAKE AWAY ONCED ADDED!
