I am always looking for easy, delicious and quick dinner recipes. This baked tomato and feta pasta dish is perfect.
Way back to last year, this recipe was a TikTok sensation. The video went viral, as I guess a lot of us were looking for new dinner recipes. It didn’t even have a name. I’ve tweaked it a little bit and added a few extra ingredients to my tastes. Baked tomato and feta pasta is now a regular addition on my meal rotations.
Wish I could remember
I don’t know who the original TikTok poster was. Honestly, I was brand new on TikTok and not all that familiar with how things worked. LOL Since that time many people have re-created the dish. There wasn’t even really a recipe – just a guy dumping ingredients into a pan, while I took notes. This is my rendition of what he made, and dare I say a bit better with my additional ingredients and measurements.
Wash and dry 2 pints cherry tomatoes 
Add tomatoes to a 13×9 pan and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil 
Add salt and pepper 
Nestle an 8 oz block of feta cheese in the middle of cherry tomatoes 
Drizzle feta cheese with more olive oil 
Bake in a 400 degree oven for
30-35 minutes
Remove from oven when the cheese is beginning to brown and
the tomatoes blister
Immediately stir the feta cheese and tomatoes until you have a creamy sauce 
Add 1 TBS minced fresh garlic 
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves 
1 cup fresh spinach leaves. Stir all together. 
Add pasta andImmediately serve.

Notes
Our family likes our pasta fairly saucy. We tend to add less pasta to this recipe. Feel free to add as much or as little pasta to suit your taste.
I just love a one dish meal. It saves so much time in the kitchen, not to mention that cleanup is a breeze.
Jenn and I been visiting a local roadside stand that has had the best tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, peaches and more. Fresh is definitely best!
I hope that you give this delicious recipe a try. Let us know what you think.
