Pasta with feta and tomatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute feta with goat cheese, ricotta, or even grated Parmesan for a different flavor profile. Just note that the texture and saltiness may vary.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
Yes, this recipe is vegetarian as written. Just ensure all ingredients, including the pasta and cheese, are vegetarian-friendly (some cheeses use animal rennet).
Absolutely! Simply swap regular pasta for a gluten-free variety. Check that all other ingredients, like the herb mix, are also gluten-free.
A mix of oregano, basil, and thyme complements the feta and tomatoes well. Fresh herbs can also be used—just double the quantity for more vibrant flavor.
Freezing is not recommended, as the pasta may become mushy and the tomatoes watery upon thawing. It’s best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for short-term storage.
For extra protein, toss in cooked chickpeas, grilled chicken, or shrimp. These additions should be stirred in during the final step before serving.
Serve it warm with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and a side of crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
Yes, but use 1/4 teaspoon of dried garlic per fresh clove. Add it with the herb mix in Step 7, as dried garlic can burn if exposed to high heat too long.
