Baked Feta Pasta

Baked Feta Pasta

It's hearty, healthy, delicious, and viral. The platform Tik Tok has presented a recipe that is so famous, stores across our great nation quickly became out of stock of feta cheese! So while we may be late on the trend, prepare for another shortage, because we will be making this again, and again. (and again.)
