Tips for Tik Tok Feta Pasta:

  • Baking Dish – Make sure to use the right size of baking dish. We like to use a baking dish that the grape tomatoes are close together but large enough to stir everything together.
  • Reserved Pasta Water – When finished cooking the pasta, reserve at least one cup of the salted water. This allows for you to add some warm water to the tomato and feta cheese if it turns out dry. The pasta water will keep the pasta dish thick.
  • Olive Oil – When adding in the ½ cup extra virgin olive oil make sure to use enough. This is the key to making the sauce thick and rich.
  • Cooking the Noodles – Cook the noodles al dente. We like to cook them about 1 minute less because the noodles will finish cooking as it is mixed with the sauce.
  • Combining Ingredients – The key to making this pasta work is the timing of when everything is cooked. You want to make sure that the pasta is done cooking about the same time as the tomatoes and feta.
  • Ingredients – When making this recipe, you want to make sure that you are using fresh ingredients. The ingredients are minimal but it is important to give this dish so much flavor.
  • Feta Cheese – We recommend the Sheep’s Milk Feta Cheese for this dish.

How to Choose the Best Feta:

We recommend the Feta that is made with Sheep’s Milk. If you pick the feta that is made from cows milk or goat milk, it can turn out crumbly. When making this pasta dish you want the results to be a creamy and smooth recipe.

Buy quality ingredients and you will have the best version of this Tiktok Pasta dish.

What to Serve with Feta Pasta?

We like to serve this Feta Pasta it usually served as a side dish. But if adding in some chicken, you can usually just serve it with some garlic bread.

  • Grilled Chicken – Grilled chicken would be delicious served with this pasta dish.
  • Garlic Bread – We love to serve this creamy pasta with breadsticks or cheese sticks. We love to dip our bread with the sauce.
  • Side Salad – You can easily make this for a meatless Monday since it is rich and hearty. Keep you sides light and make a simple salad.

Variations:

  • Pasta – Any type of pasta will work for this recipe. Penne, Spaghetti, Rigatoni, or fettuccini pasta are all good options.
  • Feta – We recommend using full-fat feta when making this dish. You can use fat-free but it may not melt as well as the full-fat feta. You can also use vegan feta cheese.
  • Feta Variation – If you do not like feta, you can use goat cheese or cream cheese. The results are still going to be creamy and delicious.
  • Add in Herbs – You can easily add in more herbs to this pasta dish. Fresh herbs such as garlic and basil, thyme, scallions, chives or rosemary are always good options.
  • Add in a Protein – You can easily add in many different proteins. Add in shredded cooked chicken, chopped bacon, or even ground beef.
  • Mix in Veggies – If you love adding in vegetables when you can, mix some into this dish. We recommend broccoli, shredded carrots, or even asparagus are great options.
  • Crumbled Feta – Crumbled feta can be used but only as a last resort. It doesn’t turn out as creamy and it has a powdery coating on the feta.
  • Low Carb – If you are wanting to try this dish as a low carb dish, mix in spaghetti squash.

    At first, I wasn’t too thrilled I mean I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t really love it. So I put a jar of garlic tomato pasta sauce in it and it’s yummy for me!
