Baked Feta Pasta

You can’t get any easier than this recipe for dinner! An oven roasted block of feta cheese with cherry tomatoes create the perfect sauce for your favorite pasta! It’s a hit on Tik Tok!

I’m like everyone else, I get sucked into the TikTok recipes and wonder how they made them! After seeing his one a zillion times, I decided it was time to recreate it!

TIPS AND TRICKS

TOMATOES: If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, that’s fine, you can dice some nice fresh tomatoes. It’s the optics of the bursting tomatoes tha make the cherry tomatoes optimal. 

BLOCK CHEESE: For best results, use the block cheese. You won’t believe the smell that fills your house while this is cooking. Yum!

PASTA: Use whatever is in your cupboard. I like to use pasta with lots of grooves to catch the sauce.
