The trendiest pasta dish!
We are finally posting about the most popular pasta dish of 2020/2021, baked feta pasta!
This dish created a social media craze that caused some grocery stores across the world to become fully out of stock of block feta! Go figure, haha. To the history of baked feta pasta, not 100% sure, we've heard Finland, but let's just assume it was a thing before it became an internet sensation.
Either way, let's talk about a simple and easy dinner idea, this recipe checks all the boxes, bonus, it's absolutely delicious. This recipe can be super versatile too, simply add more veggies, herbs, and seasonings to increase nutrient consumption, or even try different cheeses. We've also used burrata in the same manner. Consistency will be different with different cheeses depending on their melting factors.
