Tik Tok Viral Pasta

Tik Tok is kinda my guilty pleasure!

During peal quarantine, I would scroll on Tik Tok for hours. It’s so entertaining! These kids on here are so creative, I sound like an auntie saying this lol but they seriously are!

I don’t pay too much attention to viral recipes because I’m like, is it actually good or just good content? Anyway, I saw this viral one pan pasta with feta cheese & tomatoes and I love feta & tomatoes. At first I was like, hmmmmm but then I saw a couple of my food boo’s post it and then I was like alright let me try this lol.

10/10 recommend! It’s actually very good. Idk if it’s because it’s super quick to make but it’s a good and quick af lunch or dinner! I thru in some garlic, red pepper flakes & basil because obviously…but it was good!

Try it below!

Ingredients (feed 2)

• 1/2 lb bowtie pasta, penne, any type of pasta like that

• 1 block of feta cheese (8 oz)

• 1 pint cherry tomatoes

• 3 garlic cloves (minced or whole. I thru them in whole)

• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

• salt & pepper

• extra virgin olive oil (about 1/4 cup)

• reserved pasta water

• basil leaves for garnish

  Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

• Boil salted water and cook pasta according to box instructions to al dente

• In an oven safe pan or cast iron pan, drizzle the bottom of the pan with olive oil then add your tomatoes & garlic cloves, sprinkle with salt & pepper and toss to combine in the olive oil.

• Place the feta cheese in the middle, drizzle more olive oil and salt & pepper over the feta cheese. If you want, sprinkle red pepper over everything.

• Bake for 30 minutes until tomatoes are jammy and feta block is golden brown and soft.

• When done, combine the melted feta with the jammy tomatoes all together and add in the pasta and stir to combine. Add in basil leaves. If it’s a little too thick add in some reserved pasta water to loosen it up!

Enjoy!
