This baked fetta pasta was a quick TikTok sensation early 2023, or maybe it was late 2022. Who knows honestly I’m always late to these kinds of things.
Either way this dish is delicious and this is my take on a quick meal perfect for 2 people or for 1 person to have leftovers, or seconds.
Ingredients you will need
- Fetta cheese – creates the creamy sauce
- Red onion – red onion is my favorite for this but you can for sure use a cooking onion or shallots
- Cherry tomatoes – must be the cherry tomato, any colour will do.
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- shredded chicken optional – if you have some leftover from dinner last night or you have a roasted chicken in your fridge for lunches you can add some to your meal.
- Desired pasta- I used rigatoni, you can also use macaroni, Penne, or fusilli. Anything that will hold on to a sauce and bake well.
