Original Baked Feta Pasta Recipe (Viral Tiktok Pasta)

• 份量: 4 servings
• 准备时间: 5 minutes
• 总时间: 45 minutes

配料

1 lb Pasta (I recommend bowtie or orzo)

1/2 cup Olive Oil

2 pints Cherry Tomatoes (around 20-25 oz)

1 8 oz block Feta Cheese

4 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)

2 pinches Red Pepper Flakes

1 handful Fresh Basil Leaves

Kosher Salt and Fresh Cracked Pepper

Balsamic Glaze (if the tomatoes are too sour)

步骤

Preheat oven to 400. Add tomatoes, olive oil, and salt to a baking dish and toss.

Place the block of feta in the middle and top with a splash more of olive oil plus a few pinches red pepper flakes. Bake for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare bowtie pasta al dente according to directions then strain -- being sure to save some pasta water for later on.

After the 30 minutes has past, 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 IMMEDIATELY add the garlic and basil and stir. The residual heat from the tomatoes and olive oil will take the raw edge off the garlic.

Now stir in the strained al dente pasta and toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste! (And if the sauce is dry, you can add 1/4 cup pasta water and stir to loosen the sauce!)

**If the tomatoes are out of season and are too sour or tart, try adding in some balsamic glaze to sweeten it up.
