I am usually not one for trends or even trying out recipes seen on TikTok, but this one I had to try and make my own version. I am a huge fan of feta cheese, I love it in salads and even on egg dishes too. But, my hubby isn’t too fond of feta so I made this pasta bake with cream cheese instead and it did not disappoint! You can scroll down to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and measurements.
Cherry Tomatoes: cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes work best for this recipe. White onion: I love the flavor that onion adds to this dish. Yellow onion works fine, too! Sun-dried tomatoes: adding spinach and sun-dried tomatoes gives this dish a Tuscan feel. I usually add in some of the oil from the jar that the sun-dried tomatoes are in, too, for a boost of flavor! Olive oil: opt for a good quality olive oil. The olive oil coats all of the ingredients and helps prevent anything from sticking to the casserole dish. Seasonings: garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as oregano, thyme, roasted garlic, etc. Cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese is what I use, but a reduced-fat cream cheese will do the job, too! Fresh spinach: stir in the fresh spinach at the end. It will wilt right into the warm dish! Basil: to garnish Pasta: I used mini bow tie pasta noodles, but you can use any pasta shape you prefer! Pick your favorite shape and switch it up for fun!
