TikTok Baked Feta Pasta

Інгредієнти

1 pound bowtie pasta (or 2-8.8 oz Barilla Red Lentil Pasta)

½ cup olive oil, plus more for finishing

Напрямки

Preheat oven to 400°F

Add olive oil to a baking dish and toss with whole cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper until everything is coated

Add the feta in the middle and top with a splash more of olive oil plus a few cranks of fresh pepper

Bake for 30 minutes

Meanwhile, prepare bowtie pasta according to directions then strain

After the 30 minutes has passed, crank the heat up to 450 and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the feta and tomatoes have browned

Remove the baking dish from the oven and add garlic and red pepper flakes and stir so the residual heat cooks the garlic and releases the flavors from the red pepper flakes

Toss in the pasta and stir one more time

Finish with fresh basil, another splash of olive oil and season with salt and pepper

11/6/2024 - Sub pasta for lentil pasta. Dish is VERY dry. Added lots of extra olive oil. Try with more tomatoes + feta next time. Good flavor profile though

2/22/2025 - Updated ingredient quantities (3 tomatoe containers, 2x as much feta). Finally enough liquid!
