Single-serve feta pasta Ingredients:
- Cherry tomatoes: Use fresh cherry or grape tomatoes.
- Feta cheese: I like to use Danish feta but Greek feta is said to be a bit creamier as it’s higher in fat.
- Olive oil: Any olive oil is fine but extra-virgin olive oil is recommended.
- Garlic: Use either fresh garlic (minced) or minced jar garlic.
- Seasoning: Use whichever dried or fresh herbs you like. Some of the favorites are black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. If you have some fresh basil at hand, add some once the feta is finished baking for extra flavor.
- Pasta: You can use any pasta shape and type of pasta you like. Just cook it according to the package instructions.
Tip: reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water and add the reserved pasta water to the crushed tomato mix for a creamier sauce.
How to make feta pasta for one:
