Baked Feta Pasta Recipe
Feta pasta is the TikTok feta pasta recipe that went viral. I made the original baked feta pasta with feta cheese and tomato pasta but ended up adding cream cheese after trying the TikTok pasta recipe. Now it's a rich and super creamy feta tomato pasta dish that the pasta recipes with feta were missing!
Equipment
- 1 9x13 baking dish, (for roasting tomatoes and feta)
- 1 8-quart pot, (for cooking pasta)
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 24 oz cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz feta cheese, (whole block)
- 8 oz cream cheese, (broken up)
- 6 cloves of garlic, (crushed)
- 5 Tbsp Olive Oil, (reserve 1 Tbsp for drizzling the feta)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 11/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne and crushed red pepper
- 3 Tbsp dried parsley
- 1 lb ziti pasta, (cooked and drained)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, (grated)
Instructions
Directions:
- Add cherry tomatoes, 4 Tbsp of olive oil, and spices to a 9x13 baking dish; (black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried parsley.)
- Place a block of feta cheese in the middle and dollop the tomatoes with cream cheese chunks then drizzle with 1 more Tbsp of oil.
- Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes and remove from the oven. (Bake for 15 more minutes if you want the tomatoes to burst open.)
- Add the cream, and parmesan cheese and give it a stir then add any pasta of choice. Serve.
Notes
- This is not a spicy pasta recipe, there is a subtle hint of spiciness but it's very mild.
- We have adjusted the creamy feta cheese sauce to accommodate a one-pound box of pasta.
