The Ultimate Lazy-Day Baked Feta Pasta Hack
Sometimes, you just want a delicious, comforting meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Enter the baked feta pasta craze—a recipe that exploded on social media for its incredible flavor and minimal effort. But what if you want to take it a step further and make it even lazier without sacrificing taste?
Why Baked Feta Pasta?
If you haven’t tried baked feta pasta yet, here’s why it’s so beloved:
- Creamy, tangy feta cheese melts perfectly with roasted cherry tomatoes.
- The sauce comes together right in the oven—no stovetop juggling.
- Toss with your favorite pasta for a hearty, comforting dish.
- It’s customizable with garlic, herbs, olives, or veggies.
The Lazy-Day Hack: One-Pan Wonder
The classic baked feta pasta recipe calls for baking feta and tomatoes, then mixing with cooked pasta. But the lazy-day hack skips a step and uses pre-cooked or no-cook pasta alternatives, cutting down on time and dirty dishes.
What You Need:
- 1 block of feta cheese (about 7 ounces)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic (optional)
- Olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano
- 8 ounces no-boil pasta or quick-cook pasta (like fresh pasta or small shells)
How to Make It: Step-by-Step Lazy Edition
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a baking dish, place the block of feta cheese in the center.
3. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the feta. Add whole garlic cloves if you like.
4. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano.
5. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the feta is golden and creamy.
6. While the feta and tomatoes bake, prepare your no-boil pasta:
- If you have no-boil pasta, just pour boiling water over it and let it soften.
- If using fresh pasta or quick-cook pasta, boil it for 2-4 minutes until al dente.
