Vegan Baked TikTok Feta Pasta

Vegan Baked TikTok Pasta

I took the original famous TikTok Baked Feta recipe and figured out how I could make it a bit healthier. It does not sacrifice on flavor either! It's a fairly rich pasta with the cheese, garlic, olive oil, and acidity from the tomatoes, so it feels like a special occasion meal. It's so delicious and incredibly easy!

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz grape tomatoes
  • 1 package Violife Feta Cheese
  • 8 garlic cloves
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes add more for more of a kick
  • ground pepper to taste
  • sea salt to taste
  • large handful of basil leaves
  • 1 box of Jovial gluten free pasta or your choice of pasta - spiral, rotini, farfalle types

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400.
  2. Once the oven is preheated, bring a large pot of water to boil on the stovetop for your pasta.
  3. In a baking dish, add the tomatoes and garlic and toss with the olive oil to coat. Put the Violife Feta Cheese (discarding the excess liquid in the package) in the middle of the dish. Sprinkle the entire dish with crushed red pepper flakes, a little sea salt, and some cracked ground pepper. Bake for around 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes are just starting to brown and ready to burst. Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to it's package. Time it so everything will be done around the same time.
  4. Take a fork and carefully mash the tomatoes and stir the entire mixture together for your sauce. Add your cooked pasta to the dish and stir until well combined. Stir in a handful of chopped fresh basil leaves. Enjoy!

Notes

If you overcook the feta and there is too much liquid, it's OK. Just let it sit out of the oven for a bit and it will start to solidify more. Once it's a bit more solid, mash down the tomatoes and stir in your cooked pasta. Overall, it is a more oily and wet pasta though. Make sure your GF noodles are more dry before adding it to the mixture as well.
