This easy baked feta pasta recipe is a delicious Italian-inspired dish! Feta is baked until soft and creamy to make the sauce, and bruschetta gives an irresistible burst of flavor.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (9.88 oz) jar DeLallo Tomato Bruschetta
- 1 (8 oz) block feta cheese
- 1 handful fresh basil torn
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
- 8 ounces DeLallo Bucatini
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, then stir in the bruschetta.
- Place the feta block on top, and then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The feta should be soft and may be starting to lightly brown on top.
- Meanwhile, boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook the bucatini al dente. Important: reserve about 1/2 cup of the hot pasta water prior to draining the pasta.
- Take the skillet out of the oven and give it a good stir, then stir in the parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Add in the spinach and then pour in a couple of tablespoons of the pasta water and toss until the spinach has wilted, gradually adding more pasta water as needed to get the consistency you like.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss. Season with salt & pepper as needed, and serve immediately.
