My Try at the Trendy Tik Tok Pasta

 



I’m not on Tik Tok, but if you are on line at all you have most likely seen this easy pasta recipe.  I was skeptical, but every time someone made it, there was evident genuine surprise at how good it tasted.  So, I decided to give it a try.  I did change the cheese from Feta to Boursin.

Step 1

Place a block of Boursin garlic and herb flavored cheese in a 9x12 baking dish.  Surround with one container of cherry tomatoes.  Drizzle cheese and tomatoes with olive oil and add 3 tsp crushed garlic and your choice of seasonings.  I used Italian seasoning, cracked black pepper and red pepper flakes.  Put water to boil and prepare 16 ounce box of pasta.

Step 2

Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until cheese is melted and tomatoes are soft and ready to burst.

Step 3 

Mix in prepared pasta of your choice (I used fettuccine) and a bit of the pasta water. Sprinkle with fresh chopped basil.

That is how easy it is and it is really good.  You could add shrimp or chicken at the end as well if you needed some protein.  Sometimes a fad can be a good thing :-)

    1. Couldn’t be easier. Original recipe calls for a feta block or people also use cream cheese.
