Vegan Baked Feta Pasta (from TikTok!)

February 7, 2021 by Lisa Le 5 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This baked feta pasta has exploded on TikTok and it looked so good I had to try and make a vegan version!

I avoided TikTok for so long, partially because I find myself feeling very old when using it, and also because I can get sucked into it with the endless scroll. But I’ve been liking a lot of the other TikTok food videos I’ve been seeing a lot of my friends post, so I’ve decided to suck it up, start my account and try to self-impose decent boundaries so I don’t lose myself to funny TikToks. And I decided to start by making a vegan version of the trendy baked feta pasta, originally started by Lie Miessa.

Eddie’s been asking me to make more creamy pasty recipes, but I don’t usually keep a lot of cooking creams in my pantry when the craving arises. A couple months ago I bought this Nafsika’s Garden feta-style block and kind of forgot it in my fridge, but the incredible thing about a lot of these vegan cheeses is that their expiry date is usually 6 months or longer for some reason.

I’m not going to question it haha.

This feta sat in the fridge for an absurd amount of time and seeing this super simple tomato and feta baked pasta seemed like the perfect opportunity to free up some space in the fridge and eat some ultra creamy pasta!

This pasta is originally made with cherry tomatoes, but I think I prefer using the bigger tomatoes because you get less skin overall for the amount of tomato flavour. Both work, it’s just your preference of whatever tomatoes you have. In the summer, having big juicy garden tomatoes would make this extremely delicious, but for those tomatoes I’d either half or quarter to roast them.

Either way, super delicious recipe, I’m excited to see what other TikTok recipes I’ll encounter and be able to veganize! I hope you give this a try (whether or not you’re on that platform), and I hope you enjoy this.

Vegan Baked Feta Pasta (from TikTok!)

This super easy pasta dish is so creamy and delicious! Use gluten-free pasta to keep this dish GF, and feel free to add more spices and herbs to amp up the flavour even more.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 small vine tomatoes or 22 oz/600 g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 block of vegan feta cheese (200 g)
  • 1/4 (60 mL) cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried chili flakes
  • 450-500g (16 oz) pasta shape of your chose (I used gemelli)
  • 1/4 cup basil, ribboned or roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C)
  2. In a large casserole dish, add the tomatoes and place the block of vegan feta in the centre of the pan. Add the garlic loves and drizzle olive oil generously over everything.
  3. Sprinkle with dried oregano and chili flakes, then bake for about 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are well blistered and feta is soft and kind of half-melted.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, cook your pasta until desired al-dente and drain.
  5. Use a fork to mash the tomatoes, garlic, and break up the feta and mix to get a creamy, tomatoey-sauce. Add the pasta and mix well, then add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Enjoy!

    This looks amazing. You should try it with our Vegan Stokes Herbed Feta! So delish and easy as can be, because all the herbs are in our cheeses.

      Hi Tina! I’ve tried your feta lots of times :D Would it melt and yield a creamy sauce though? From what I remember, it’s better for eating in things that need that firmer, feta texture.

It seems like @chez.jorge and I were on a similar wavelength this week because I've been working on this washed flour seitan video πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ but the video is here and y'all, you can make seitan with JUST flour and water!!

My body got really mad at me for overdoing it on the salt last week so lately all I've been craving is fresh veggies. I piled on my vegan egg salad over some salad greens with tomatoes, cucumber, sunflower seeds, and coconut bacon.
πŸ₯—
It's a pretty hearty salad that hit the protein hard with a hearty dose of eggy flavour! Eddie thinks I'm a little weird for eating tofu egg salad like this but sometimes you don't feel like bread (I know, me? Not want bread?!)
πŸ₯—
If you want the recipe, I have a swipe up in my stories and you can find the recipe on my blog! (http://bit.ly/2wLWMr3) we make this once every few weeks for meal prep for Eddie and for when I am too scatterbrained to remember to make lunch πŸ˜…

New recipe is live!! Y'all know me and my love for dumplings and these red curry flavoured dumplings are up on the channel and the blog.
πŸ₯Ÿ
I feel like I could have improved the camera angle for capturing the dumpling folding but honestly seeing it from this angle to see what your hands are supposed to do is helpful too. Either way, go have a watch and I'd love to see your dumpling creations (bonus if you wanna challenge yourself and try braided dumplings!)
πŸ₯Ÿ
Have you tried braided dumplings before? It was actually really satisfying to really get a handle of it in the end. Swipe up in my stories for a video link and the recipe! (Recipe: https://bit.ly/3rhcg08)

I love having mock meats around but tofu will always have a soft spot in my heart! So many different types of tofu and so many different textures can be achieved, but honestly one of the most regular uses for firm tofu in our house is making tofu egg breakfast sandos with it!I have a recipe on my blog for these sandwiches (https://thevietvegan.com/vegan-egg-mcmuffins/) and they are deliciously eggy with this black salt marinade! Eddie makes this all the time, and often doesn't even bother with marinade sometimes, he just sprinkles black salt and pepper on top after frying both sides in the cast iron.I teamed up with some other fellow vegan creators who are sharing their tofu tips today so go check em out!✨ @muriellebanackissa made Sweet and Spicy Nooch Coated Tofu⁠
✨ @plantbasedkristy made Shredded Tofu Magic⁠
✨ @plentyfullvegan made Tofu Feta⁠
✨ @thecanadianafrican made Suya Tofu Skewers⁠
✨ @twomarketgirls made Crispy Herby Tofu Croutons!#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #bestofvegan #veganfood #tofurecipes

Recipe and video are on the blog and YouTube channel, please check it out and enjoy the new filming setup that I've been doing lately :) I think this makes for a much better video filmed this way!

I made this satay recipe as a collab with @monbento to show a delicious lunch idea that you can meal prep ahead of time! Y'all know I am a sucker for delicious food in my bento box, so I'm so jazzed that monbento gave me a code to save y'all 10%.

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!

Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
πŸ•
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
πŸ•
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)
