Description
A lighter, low-carb twist on the viral baked feta pasta — tender Palmini noodles baked with creamy feta, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can Palmini noodles (drained and rinsed)
- 1 block (8 oz) feta cheese
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) to prepare for baking the ingredients evenly.
- Prepare tomatoes and garlic: In a baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil ensuring the tomatoes are coated well.
- Add feta and bake: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until the feta is soft and the tomatoes have burst and are tender.
- Combine noodles: Remove the dish from the oven and add the drained and rinsed Palmini noodles. Stir everything together until the noodles are fully coated and the mixture is creamy.
- Season and garnish: Season the pasta with salt and pepper to your liking. Finish with fresh basil leaves on top for a bright, fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- Add spinach or chili flakes for extra flavor and spice.
- Use vegan feta cheese for a dairy-free version of this dish.
