Why You'll Love this Recipe
Seasoned tomatoes and feta cheese get baked in the oven to create this lovely sauce and then pasta gets tossed in with it. The tomatoes burst in the oven and open up to create a wonderful tomato sauce.
It’s so easy to make that all the blocked feta cheese is sold out and hard to find. I couldn’t find ANY blocked feta cheese at any of the grocery stores I regularly shop at in ND. The blocked feta is even sold out in Findland and probably soon will be all over the US. If you can’t find blocked feta cheese don’t worry, because you can do this with crumbled feta cheese as well.
Creamy Sauce
The original recipe on Tiktok calls for adding some reserved pasta water. I made this dish extra creamy by adding in some heavy cream to it. Heavy cream is not necessary but check it out if you want to.

How to Make Baked Feta Pasta
- For the rest of the recipe please see the recipe card below!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add cherry tomatoes to a casserole dish.
- Place the block of feta cheese or crumbled feta in the center of the casserole dish. Drizzle olive oil over the cherry tomatoes and feta cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the tomatoes and feta in the oven for 40 minutes.
- While the tomatoes and feta cheese are cooking in the oven, boil the noodles and set aside.

Take the casserole dish out of the oven and immediately start to mash the cherry tomatoes and cheese together in the dish. Stir in cream, parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, and then the cooked pasta. Continue stirring until everything is incorporated. Enjoy!
Ingredients for Baked Feta Pasta
Grape Tomatoes - The tomatoes can be cut in half, left whole, or quartered. The end results will still taste the same no matter what you decide to do. If you are using a larger tomato like a Roma or beefsteak tomatoes then cut them in half or quarter so that the cooking time remains the same. Don't like tomatoes? Use other vegetables.
Feta Cheese -Blocked feta or crumbled feta cheese can be used. I've seen people use ricotta, goat cheese, or cream cheese.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil - The original Tiktok recipe calls for ½ cup of oil but that is also a lot of points if you are following the Weight Watcher plan and if you are new here to this blog that is what I write recipes for. I used only 2 tablespoons to help lower the fat content and points for this recipe.
Freshly Chopped Basil, Garlic, Salt, and Pepper for seasonings
Cream - If your sauce doesn’t come out as creamy as you like it to be add in some heavy cream. This is OPTIONAL. Some chicken stock or reserved pasta water will also work.
Parmesan Cheese - for sprinkling

Tips for Baked Pasta
The original recipe for this dish calls for reserved pasta water. Make sure to reserve the pasta water on the side if that is what you want to use instead of Heavy Cream.
To make it spicy or to add more flavor try adding some crushed red pepper flakes.
Add some chopped veggie like zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, spinach, and garlic cloves a long with the tomatoes.
Any type of noodle can be used. Penne or rigatoni works really well with.

Nicole says
Does 8 oz cooked pasta mean 8 oz dry then cook it in the water or 8 oz weight once cooked?
Casey says
Will this work with reduced-fat feta cheese?
Jenna says
Fresh is better with this dish.
Hannah says
Question: Two teaspoons of garlic - fresh pressed? Powder? Granulated?
Jean says
Has anyone used a long noodle, like fettuccine, for this dish? I'm thinking that's what I'll use. Just curious to hear other's experience!
Jenna says
I explain that in the ingredients section above the recipe. 😉
Yuli says
I want to try this today, but I realized I bought crumbled cheese over the block. Is it doable? Should cooking temps/times be different?
@Kirat_Sun says
I added shrimp to mine.
I took the dish from the oven at 30 min, then topped it with the shrimp I had seasoned with lemon. Then placed it back in for another 10 min!
