7 ounce block Greek feta cheese

HOW TO MAKE BAKED FETA PASTA RECIPE

This delicious pasta recipe will come together quickly and easily. It’s prepped in just 10 minutes and only requires about 20 minutes to bake.

Fill the baking dish with garlic cloves and tomatoes. Place a block of feta in the center of the dish.
Combine oil, vinegar, and seasonings and pour over the entire dish.
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Pro-tip: Bake time might be a bit different depending on your oven. A great way to tell when the tomatoes and feta are done is by looking at the tomatoes. If they are starting to burst, you can take it out of the oven!
Cook pasta according to directions, saving ¾ cup of pasta water when draining. Remove the feta and tomato dish from the oven and stir baked ingredients, adding the pasta and water.
Pro-tip: I found that without the pasta water, the taste might be too strong for some people. However, the consistency was fine without it if you served the meal right away.
If the pasta has to sit for a while, the pasta water helps it keep a good, creamy consistency.
Top with fresh basil and serve!

VARIATIONS / OPTIONS / ADD-INS

PROTEIN: While it’s delicious without, it would be really easy to add protein to this recipe. You could cook some chicken breasts or Italian sausage, cut it up and serve it over the top or mixed in with your pasta.
VEGETABLES: This recipe would be great with the addition of veggies. Try adding cooked spinach, mushrooms, onions, or all of them! I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m sure it would be absolutely delicious.
RED PEPPER & BASIL: The red pepper flakes in this recipe can be left out if you aren’t a fan of the spiciness or basil flavor.
NOODLES: You can use pretty much any type of medium-sized noodles. See below for more details and ideas.

WHAT TYPE OF PASTA SHOULD I USE FOR BAKED FETA DISH?

You can use any type of medium sized pasta with this dish. Honestly, you could use long pasta too, but typically most people use noodles with some type of ridge or texture to ensure maximum flavor.

Some options include Campanelle, Cavatappi, Shells, Farfelle, Rotini, Macaroni, Penne, Rigatoni, or Ziti. I love any type of thick twisty pasta, so Campanelle or Cavatappi are personal favorites.
