If you haven’t tried feta and pasta with tomatoes, it’s a great time to taste what you’ve been missing. After all, millions of people couldn’t be wrong.

It’s so good, yet so simple to prepare! Place block of feta cheese in the center of a baking dish and surround it with cherry tomatoes. Add chopped chili pepper, drizzle with olive oil and bake. After 25 minutes in the oven, break up the feta, stir, mix in your pasta and top with a generous helping of fresh basil.

The recipe has inspired many people to try feta in a variety of new ways. It’s a great cheese for experimenting as its flavor complements so many of our favorite foods. With a salty, bright flavor, feta is a great accent for savory recipes and provides just the right balance to sweeter dishes.

Add feta to pizza for a creative touch your family will love. Feta adds great flavor to street corn. Use feta with guacamole and refried beans for delicious vegetarian tacos. While we know it’s great on salads, feta is just as delicious as a soup topping. It provides a tangy flavor and an additional textural element to the bowl. Feta is great in all varieties from cream soups to tortilla. Unlike other cheeses, feta doesn’t cling to the spoon.
