My husband, Dan has got an account on TikTok – @running2resonate – he loves to run so please feel free to look him up and he is on insta aswell! ! I am not on this platform but he showed me a video clip using Feta cheese as everyone seems to be posting about it. I watched the video and thought, wow, that’s incredibly easy and just by chance, I have got a feta cheese block in my fridge! lol!
So, for this month’s vegetarian dish, I decided to join in the popular feta cheese pasta craze!! lol! I was really surprise as to how little ingredients you need to make this but you can always add other vegetables and herbs to it according to your preference. I couldn’t eat just pasta with tomatoes plus I don’t think Dan would be too satisfied with this so I added some spinach to it aswell and served it with garlic bread!
Ingredients: Full fat feta cheese block, a box of small tomatoes – can be mixed, pasta, garlic, olive oil, chilli flakes and mixed herbs. I included half a bag of spinach and a bunch of basil leaves.
Method: Pre heat the oven to GM6 and use a big oven dish. Put the tomatoes in and then add the feta cheese block in the middle of the dish, sprinkle your herbs, garlic and drizzle some olive oil. Bake for 40 minutes or so until the cheese looks quite golden and the tomatoes are bursting.
As your dish is in the oven baking, cook your pasta and reserve some of the water for the sauce. Once your feta cheese is ready, add your pasta and your spinach and just mix everything together. If it is too dry, then add some of the water from your pasta. Lastly, add some basil leaves to garnish! And that’s it! So simple and an easy quick dinner. I will definitely be cooking this again and add different vegetables to it like courgettes or mushrooms etc.
