Baked Feta Pasta | Trying The Viral TikTok Trend!
Have you seen this viral trend floating around the internet lately? Baked feta pasta is insanely delicious and lives up to the hype. It’s also quick, simple, easy and ready in 30 minutes or less. It doesn’t get much better than that, friends! If you’re looking to make this recipe gluten free or lower carb, I recommend substituting spaghetti squash (or gluten free pasta).

AN OVERVIEW – MAKING BAKED FETA PASTA:
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F.
- Place your block of feta cheese in a baking dish. Rinse tomatoes and place them in the baking dish, surrounding the cheese block.
- Sprinkle ingredients with seasonings and then bake for 20-25 minutes.
- While cheese and tomatoes are baking, boil pasta and set it aside once done.
- Once tomatoes and cheese finish roasting, use a spoon to mash cheese and tomatoes together. Stir them up to create a sauce (*note – I like to leave about a quarter of my tomatoes whole!)
- Mix cooked pasta into your tomato and feta sauce.
- Plate and enjoy!
WHERE CAN I BUY A BLOCK OF FETA CHEESE?
Normally you can find a block of feta cheese at your local grocery store. Right now, it can be hard to find them with this recipe trending on TikTok. After visiting six grocery stores without any luck, I had the bright idea to Google “specialty cheese shop near me.” Several results popped up in the Denver area. I called around and was able to find a cute, little cheese shop with blocks of feta available! I recommend trying the same if you’re running into this issue. I’ve also made this recipe with crumbed feta multiple times and it worked really well!
HANDY TIPS:
- Many like to drizzle their tomatoes and feta cheese in olive oil before baking. I’ve actually found that everything comes together fine without any oil. If you’re looking to save a few calories, you’ll be fine without it!
- One of the coolest things about this recipe is how flexible it is. If you’re feeling creative, have some fun! Dice up different types of veggies and roast them along with your tomatoes and feta. Try different kinds of pasta, all shapes and sizes work great. Looking to cut down on carbs? Try zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash instead of traditional pasta. The options are endless!

Looks so good!
So I decided to try and make a slight (huge) variant with ingredients I had on hand. Too lazy to go to the store. I used large tomatoes, quartered and then halved, no feta but had Boursin cheese, loved it!!!! Now to try the original recipe!!!!!
