Baked feta pasta 🍝/ also my favorite pasta recipe / UniMila 💙

Part of the appeal of this meal is how easy it is to make—most of the ingredients are simply thrown into a baking dish and baked on high for about half an hour before being tossed with the pasta of your choice—but you wouldn’t know it considering how spectacular it tastes. Want to know what else tastes spectacular? Dip—especially one made in the style of this wildly popular pasta.

In fact you can use pretty much the same recipe you use at home for baked feta pasta with no extra ingredients or effort. The dip version is even easier to make than the original dish because you use one less item — the pasta itself. Too easy.

If the words baked feta dip aren’t enough to pique your interest there are plenty of other reasons why this snack should be on your radar. If it wasn’t already obvious the combination of baked feta and tomatoes works extremely well (there’s a reason it went viral!). Cooking feta in the oven gives the naturally firm cheese a wonderfully soft and creamy quality which is a perfect counterpoint to the tangy tomatoes and other savory ingredients in the dish. The resulting flavor and texture make it perfect for spooning onto fresh crispy bread crackers crostini or even potato chips. Not only that but it goes a long way (one 8-ounce block of feta and a pint box of tomatoes will yield a few cups).
