    When I saw this trending recipe for baked feta pasta on Tiktok I knew I had to try it immediately! That's how social media gets you! @FeelGoodFoodie shared the recipe video and it received over 4 mil views and now all I see on my For You Page are people making this pasta. The original recipe was posted back in 2019 by LIEMESSA.

    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 Finland 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.

    I've tried many famous tiktok pasta recipes like this one and Anna Paul's Viral Turkish Pasta Recipe or this Tiktok Ramen with Soy Sauce and Brown Sugar.

    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.

    Ingredients for Baked Feta Pasta

    Ingredients needed 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 - can use any fresh herb that you have on hand such as basil or thyme.
    • 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 
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    How to Make Baked Feta Pasta

    Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

    Step 2: 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.

    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.
