HOW DO I STORE LEFTOVER PASTA?

You can store leftover pasta in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 4 days or in your freezer for up to 3 months.

Simply reheat in the microwave, toaster oven, oven, or stovetop until warm.

CAN I USE AMERICAN BRAND FETA CHEESE INSTEAD OF GREEK FETA CHEESE TO MAKE FETA PASTA?

Yes, you can use American brand feta cheese instead of Greek feta cheese to make the TikTok Viral Feta Pasta.

Greek feta cheese has a creamier texture than an American brand Feta cheese.

I bought my Greek feta from Wholefoods. My block of Greek feta cheese was in brine and it did not alter the taste of the cheese nor the sauce and it was perfectly creamy.

If Greek feta cheese is not available in your area, you may use regular feta cheese and add in a little of the pasta water and ricotta cheese for additional creaminess.

Using crumbly non-smooth feta will change the texture of this dish.

CAN I MAKE TIKTOK VIRAL FETA PASTA AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, you can easily make Viral Feta Pasta the day before serving. Simply reheat in the microwave, toaster oven, oven, or stovetop until warm and serve immediately.

I suggest adding a little bit of milk, heavy cream, or water to help the sauce become creamy again.

You’ll have warm, savory pasta with roasted cherry tomatoes and feta ready for the family.

WHAT GOES WELL WITH TIKTOK VIRAL FETA PASTA?

Feta pasta goes well with a wide variety of dinner dishes and sides. These recipes would be great to serve together.

Some of my personal favorites include:

CAN I USE REGULAR TOMATOES INSTEAD OF CHERRY TOMATOES?

Yes, you can use regular tomatoes in this recipe instead of cherry tomatoes.

The steps will be pretty much the same.

The taste of the recipe will be slightly different if you use regular tomatoes and it might take longer to roast them.

I suggest cutting the tomatoes into smaller pieces before roasting. 

WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS TIKTOK VIRAL FETA PASTA RECIPE?

This simple feta pasta recipe not only tastes great, but it’s also incredibly versatile. Try adding grilled chicken breast to the pasta dish. YUM!

GREEK Feta cheese has a creamier texture than an American brand Feta cheese. I had to get the cheese from Wholefoods.

My block of cheese was also in a brine. It did not alter the taste of the cheese nor the sauce and it was perfectly creamy.

If GREEK feta cheese is not available in your area, you may use regular feta and add in a little of the pasta water and ricotta cheese for additional creaminess.
