My twist on the TikTok viral trend! Baked Feta pasta, with butternut squash, sage and honey. Super simple and packed full of flavour.
Ok I did it, I hopped on to the latest TikTok trend. It seemed to good of an opportunity to miss. It looked ridiculously simple and SO good! The usual recipe requires cherry tomatoes, basil and your choice of pasta. I wanted to mix the flavours up, so I used butternut squash, fresh sage, a little drizzle of honey and a little chilli flakes to add a little spice. The sweet, salty heat is amazing! You’ll fall in love with this recipe and the super simple method.
This recipe requires no prep…and I mean it. I buy my squash frozen already in chunks so literally throw that in you baking dish with the feta, salt and olive oil and it’s cooking. As easy as any ready meal or oven dish.
Once the feta and squash has been in the oven for 30 minutes, I like to turn the squash a little just to ensure an even bake. This is also when you add the sage and garlic and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
Once it’s out of the oven, the fun part begins, add a little reserved pasta water and your cooked spaghetti or pasta of choice and mix it all through, the creaminess will have your mouth watering! And that’s literally all there is to it! Let me know if you five it a try and what you think!
