Baked Feta Pasta – TikTok Original With a Twist

We finally did it. We made famous TikTok feta pasta. In typical Trish fashion, I couldn’t do it exactly as written though and I added a few wonderful additions. This dish was super flavourful, delicious and easy! We will be making it again in our house for sure.

Another thing that was exciting about this recipe is, it was made with my first spinach and some baby kale from my very own garden. You can use either kale or spinach in this recipe or like I did, use both! If you want to make this meatless go ahead and remove the chicken.

Use whatever kind of pasta you choose. I chose to use penne this time and it worked great but a bowtie or spiral would work well too!

Also, feel free to adapt the amount of red pepper flakes to your taste.

Enjoy this recipe and let me know what you think of this baked feta pasta rendition!

Ingredients

• 400 gram of pasta

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 2 boxes of grape tomatoes

• 1 block of feta (about 8 0z)

• pinch of red pepper flakes

• 2 chicken breasts

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 1 pint mushrooms

• 2 cups spinach

• salt and pepper

• 3 cloves of garlic

• basil

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Add the tomatoes, olive oil and salt to a 9 x 13 baking pan.
• Place the block of feta into the middle of the pan and splash with a bit more of olive oil and few pinches of red pepper flakes. Bake for 30 minutes.
• While that is baking, cook the pasta according to directions on the package. (Save some pasta water for later.)
• Chop and season the chicken with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Fry in a frying pan until cooked through. Set aside.
• In the same frying pan add a bit of oil and fry mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
• After the 30 minutes is up, crank the heat up to 450 F. Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the tomatoes and feta are nicely browned.
• Remove from oven and immediately add garlic and basil and stir. Add pasta, chicken, mushrooms and spinach and stir.
• Season with salt and pepper if needed. (If you find it dry add a bit of the pasta water and stir.)
