Here’s how I made the TikTok feta and tomato pasta, but really, you can adjust as you see fit: Crumbly feta is versatile enough, I learned, to turn into a creamy sauce. The sauce was complex, with bright and zesty tomatoes pairing perfectly with the salty, tangy feta. I’m here to report that unlike my dancing skills, this pasta recipe is absolutely phenomenal. Would this pasta that’s gone viral change my life? Or would it be as cringe-worthy as the last time I - an elder millennial - tried to hop on a TikTok trend, squinting at my phone screen as I floundered about my living room trying to nail the choreography of a dance the kids these days made up and that had gone viral? TikTok tall tale or truth? I might just buy it, because I nabbed the last block of feta at my local grocery store, and when I made it to the check out lane, the store clerk said everyone was buying feta and tomatoes recently. Interestingly, Ayeh, in her video says she’s heard that this pasta dish is so popular in Finland it caused a feta cheese shortage. My question: Can you crave something you’ve never tasted before? I’d say yes, because that’s how I ended up at the grocery store an hour after seeing the video, clutching a block of feta, heirloom tomatoes and rotini pasta. Here’s the video from TikTok user CookingWithAyeh that’s amassed more than 1 million likes: Feta Pasta is def worth all the hype!! Inspired by the lovely □ #fyp #foodtiktok #bakedfeta #pasta #foryou #foryoupage Easy-peasy, and a very visually satisfying process. When it’s pulled out of the oven, it’s mashed and stirred together creating a creamy tomato sauce for your pasta. So, when I was scrolling through TikTok, a pasta dish that’s gone viral piqued my attention and tempted my tastebuds: A block of feta is placed in a baking dish, surrounded by cherry tomatoes and given a generous bath of olive oil and garlic. They just come together with simple, quality ingredients, making them easy to commit to memory and open for future improvisation. Some of my most favorite meals don’t require recipes.
