Viral TikTok Baked Feta Pasta Recipe

Island Vibe Cooking on YouTube shows how to recreate the viral TikTok baked feta pasta recipe that requires only 5 simple ingredients. I’m not a big fan of feta cheese, but this pasta dish looks amazing and creamy. This pasta dish has gone viral on TikTok which led to a lot of grocery stores running low on feta cheese and cherry tomatoes. I like the concept of this pasta recipe because you dump all of your ingredients into a baking pan and bake. It’s an easy and quick recipe that is flavorful.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp  oregano
• 4 garlic cloves
• (8-oz.) block feta cheese
• 12 oz. uncooked pasta of choice
• Fresh basil, for serving

Directions:

First, preheat the oven to 400F. Then, add the cherry tomatoes to the baking dish and drizzle olive oil on top. Add the block of feta cheese to the center of the baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic cloves and add more olive oil. Season with other ingredients such as oregano and red chili flakes. Continue to watch Island Vibe Cooking tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, once the tomato and cheese have finished baking, use the back of a spoon or spatula to crush them until a smooth consistency. Throw in your choice of pasta to the tomato feta mixture and mix everything until fully incorporated. Add fresh basil and it’s ready to serve.

Although I’m not a feta cheese person, I’d love to give this recipe a try because it’s so popular and I see it everywhere on social media. Also, I’ve seen many people use other cheese such as goat cheese and Burrata.
