Tik-Tok Pasta

Fork it over, TikTok's pasta takeover.

Cook time: 30 min

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 blocks of feta cheese

• 5 cups cherry tomatoes

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 600 g pasta (penne, spaghetti, or any pasta you like)

• Fresh basil (for garnish)

• Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a baking dish, add the feta cheese in the center, surround it with cherry tomatoes, and drizzle everything with olive oil. Add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

3. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the feta is softened and the tomatoes have burst.

4. While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

5. After baking, remove the dish from the oven. Use a fork to mash the feta and tomatoes together, creating a creamy sauce. Add in the cooked pasta and mix everything together. If needed, add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired sauce consistency.

6. Serve with fresh basil and, if you like, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy your viral TikTok pasta! It’s creamy, tangy, and so easy to make.
