Why We Love This Baked Feta Pasta Recipe
- Feta pasta bake is an easy casserole dish to meal prep, then eat all week long.
- Loaded with roasted tomatoes and lots of tangy feta cheese, this recipe has lots of room for variations.
- Pasta is the original comfort food! But the original has been made low carb and healthy with zucchini noodles.
Ingredients and Variations
CHEESE: Baked feta pasta is made with crumbled feta cheese which gives it a bright, tangy flavor that complements the roasted tomatoes. Gorgonzola cheese is a good substitute and before serving, a little grated parmesan cheese added to the herbs makes the topping cheesier.
VEGETABLES: For maximum sweetness, make this with cherry tomatoes. They get even sweeter when roasted. Thickly sliced Roma or Beefsteak tomatoes will do in a pinch as well. For a heartier pasta bake that packs a boost of nutrition, make it with mushrooms or with asparagus. Or toss in a box of frozen (thawed and drained) spinach. Don’t forget the pasta replacement! With zoodles, baked feta pasta has the same texture as regular pasta, but without the carbs.
PROTEIN: This is a vegetarian’s dream dish, but baked feta pasta can be made with leftover chicken, with sausage, or with leftover shrimp.
How To Make A Feta Pasta Bake
When it comes to low carb casseroles, it doesn’t get much easier than this:
- Toss tomatoes with garlic, oil, & crumbled feta.
- Bake (per the recipe below) until cheese is soft & melty, and tomatoes are soft & split open.
- Spiralize zucchini, sauté in a small amount of oil until barely crisp.
- Remove baked feta & cheese from the oven & fold in zucchini zoodles & half the basil.
- Broil until top is browned & bubbly. Sprinkle on remaining herbs, serve immediately.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Leftover bacon grease can be used in place of the olive oil for a deeper flavor (and it saves a few pennies).
- If adding extra vegetables, cut or slice them in uniform sizes so they cook at the same rate.
- Once zucchini is spiralized, sprinkle the zoodles with a little salt and let them drain in a colander for about 10 minutes before cooking.
- Add a crisp low carb Caesar salad and dinner is served!
