If you’ve scrolled through social media lately, you’ve likely seen the baked feta pasta recipe, a viral sensation that delivers big flavour with minimal effort. Creamy feta, burst cherry tomatoes, and al dente pasta combine to make an irresistible dish. And with Parson’s Nose premium streaky bacon or pancetta, this viral favourite goes from good to unforgettable.
As an online butcher with locations in Fulham, Putney, and South Kensington, we also offer nationwide delivery when you place an order via our online shop, so you can enjoy exceptional ingredients wherever you’re cooking.
Ingredients:
- 200g Parson’s Nose pancetta or streaky bacon.
- 1 block (200g) of feta cheese.
- 300g cherry tomatoes.
- 3 cloves garlic, finely sliced.
- 250g pasta of your choice (fusilli, penne or rigatoni work well).
- 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- Cracked black pepper.
- Fresh basil, to garnish.
Method:
- Preheat & prep: preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). In a baking dish, place the block of feta in the centre, surround it with cherry tomatoes and garlic, and drizzle everything with olive oil and black pepper.
- Add the meat: chop and scatter your Parson’s Nose pancetta or streaky bacon around the dish. The fat will render and crisp up beautifully as the tomatoes roast and the feta softens.
- Bake: place the dish in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes until the tomatoes blister and the bacon crisps.
- Cook the pasta: meanwhile, cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
- Combine: remove the baking dish from the oven. Using a fork, mash the feta, tomatoes, and bacon together. Add the pasta and a splash of pasta water, mixing everything to create a creamy sauce.
- Garnish & serve: sprinkle with torn fresh basil and enjoy warm.
