Vegetarian Pasta With Feta Cheese (TikTok Pasta Recipe)

This is such an AMAZING vegetarian pasta recipe. This pasta with feta cheese has gone viral online, thanks to TikTok. And suddenly the whole world wanted to make this TikTok pasta recipe. We totally understand why, as this is already one of our favorite vegetarian pasta recipes.

This TikTok pasta originates from Finland! In fact, it is so popular there that for a while feta was sold out in the supermarkets (feta sales were up 300%!). A Finnish food blogger came up with this easy oven baked pasta dish.

Food trends are not always successful, but we are amazed at how tasty this pasta is. We highly recommend it.

And in this feta pasta recipe, we’re going to tell you exactly how to make it yourself. Roasted cherry tomatoes, melted feta and pasta: sounds good right? And you have it ready in a second.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can vary (variation tips can be found at the bottom of the recipe): for example, you can easily make it a vegan pasta or add other vegetables! Or use goat cheese instead of feta.

Note: we have to warn you, because if you make this baked feta pasta once, you want to eat it every week.

Baked Feta Pasta: the TikTok Pasta Recipe

This baked feta pasta recipe is especially perfect if you are busy: you will be ready in no time. And you don’t have to pay attention at all. You just need to put the ingredients in a baking dish (without cutting anything) and boil pasta.

This dish is known internationally as baked feta pasta and its original Finnish name is uunifeta pasta. The dish became very popular in Finland when food blogger Jenni Häyrinen shared the recipe in 2018.

And after another food blogger translated the recipe into English, it conquered the rest of the world.

Baked feta is very tasty (we know that from the Greeks, of course), so Jenni thought, why not make it into a pasta sauce?

Feta Cheese Pasta

Yes this is one of our most favorite veggie pasta recipes. But what ingredients do you need for this feta cheese pasta? Pasta, cherry tomatoes (the sweeter the tomatoes, the tastier the sauce), oil, and feta.

Season with pepper, salt, Italian herbs, garlic and fresh basil. Optionally, also use chili flakes if you like spicier food.

Vegetarian Pasta Recipe

But how exactly do you make this vegetarian pasta recipe? First put the tomatoes in a baking dish and mix with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Make room in the center of the baking dish and place the block of feta in the center.

Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the feta and sprinkle with chili flakes, Italian herbs, pepper and salt to taste. Place the baking dish in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes tear open.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the directions on the package and drain.

Crush the garlic and prepare (tear) the basil leaves. Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir in the garlic. Stir until the feta and tomatoes form a nice creamy sauce. Then stir in the pasta.

Serve with basil and enjoy!

Vegan Pasta Recipe

It is very easy to make this vegan pasta recipe. Make sure to use vegan feta and you’re done! We love the feta cheese from Violife.

The Violife feta cheese is perfect for this pasta recipe, because it melts well. And that’s what you want with this dish.

Also vegan: our poke bowl recipe, this richly filled portobello burger, and this vegan apple pie recipe.

Variation Tips

• You can also use regular tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes for rich flavor), but cut them into quarters.
• Bake more vegetables! Delicious with: zucchini, mushroom, eggplant, a whole chili pepper, or bell pepper.
• You can also use goat cheese instead of feta.
• Some people also make this baked feta pasta recipe with 4 whole cloves of garlic, which you then bake in the oven.
• Vary with herbs, add whatever you like.
