Some Twists:
Here are a few more ways that you can customize this baked feta pasta if you would like:
- Add a protein: Add some chicken or beef to the pasta for protein. I added some grilled chicken following the BBQ Pit Boys recipe.
- Add veggies: Likewise, you are also welcome to cook some extra veggies to add to the pasta if you would like, such as broccoli, onions and mushrooms.
- Add extra herbs: In this case I used some oregano, you can add rosemary or any other spice.
- Make it gluten-free: Just use your preferred kind of gluten-free pasta, or you could also serve this over spiraled veggie noodles (like squash noodles).
- Make it spicier: Add more chill for this alteration.
- Use roasted garlic: Roast your garlic before adding it in.
- Use a base other than pasta: Make this a spread for bread or on rice.
