Confession: I only get on TikTok when someone sends me something funny. I don’t have a login. And I have not made a single TikTok (or Reel, for that matter). I’m just not a huge fan of being ‘funny’ on camera. But that doesn’t mean that amazing things don’t happen on those videos. And I’m grateful that someone sent me this recipe that seems to have gone totally viral on TikTok. And so I decided to use my oven and Instant Pot to recreate it. So I’m going to share with you how to make TikTok Pasta!
What you’ll need to make this recipe
When I first saw this video, I was — no joke — dumbfounded at how easy this was. Like, why hadn’t any of us thought of this before?! It’s silly easy. And crazy delicious.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:
- 20 ounces cherry tomatoes
- 10.5 ounces feta cheese, brick
- 3 Tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1/2 Tablespoon of coarse sea salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon of pepper
- 1 Tablespoon of minced garlic
- 10 ounces of your favorite pasta (I used spaghetti noodles)
- Basil leaves for garnish (optional)
- Instant Pot (optional)
The Instant Pot is totally optional, but I have to say this — if you’ve never made pasta in a pressure cooker, you’re totally missing out. Pressure cooker pasta is cooked to perfection. Alternatively, you can absolutely just boil water and cook the pasta that way.
