Baked Feta Pasta - my take on the viral recipe that is taking over social media. If you try one variation, make it this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as I saw this pasta recipe making the rounds all over social media I knew I had to give it a try, what is not to like about pasta with the salty combination of baked feta and roasted tomatoes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes me back to my university days (1997-2000) when our weekends would often consist of me and my housemates cooking up a big dish of Herby Roasted Vegetables, crumbled feta, cooked spaghetti (or any other pasta for that matter) and bottle of wine. Like this Roasted Vegetables Feta Pasta Recipe<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently this pasta dish started in 2019 by a blogger named Jenni H\u00e4yrinen<\/a> <\/strong>(@liemessa) and was named Uunifetapasta. It became so popular that it resulted in Feta Cheese being hard to source all over Finland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it appeals because it's so simple, you just roast a block of Feta with tomatoes, garlic and herbs\/seasonings which are all drizzled with some olive oil. The once cooked it is all stirred together for a heavenly creamy delight, which you stir some cooked pasta into - yum!! I have even seen some variations on this skip the pasta altogether and just serve this amazing recipe as a dip with some bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my variation on the Baked Feta Pasta I kept it to a portion for two and added in some protein, with some tender sliced up chicken thighs and additional seasonings to flavour the chicken, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
