Fun food trend alert If you haven’t heard, this #FetaPasta TikTok recipe is breaking the internet and you feta believe we jumped at the chance to recreate it! Our Farmer Cheese Pasta is tasty and *almost* as fun to make as it is to eat. Place farmer cheese in the middle of a baking dish and surround it with cherry tomatoes. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, basil, salt, and pepper on top. Cook your choice of pasta on the stove while the cheese and veggies bake in the oven. We might be biased but substituting farmer cheese for feta is an upgrade that makes this dish creamier and more flavorful.
