Vegan Baked Feta Pasta

Brittany Roche

This Vegan Baked Feta Pasta is a Mediterranean-inspired, veganized version of the viral TikTok pasta recipe made famous by Finnish food blogger Jenni Häyrinen. In our version, we take it to the next level with Mediteranean-inspired flavors like tahini, kalamata olives, and roasted red peppers. Made with a luxurious homemade vegan feta cheese sauce, this recipe is not only a cheaper version than using store-bought vegan feta cheese, but it’s healthier and allergy-friendly too.

Ingredients

For the feta sauce:

1 16-oz block firm tofu (drained but not pressed)
1/2 cup melted refined coconut oil
1/4 cup tahini
2 Tbsp kalamata olive brine water from the jar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 Tbsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder

For the dish:

1/2 16-oz. box penne pasta
2 pints cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers
1/3 cup chopped kalamata olives
3 large cloves garlic minced
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional, for a little spicy

Instructions

MAKE THE FETA SAUCE: Add all the ingredients for the feta sauce to your food processor and blend on high, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed, for 2-3 minutes. When the mixture goes from grainy and dull to smooth and shiny, it’s ready!
COOK THE PASTA: Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. I would stick to the lower end of the cooking time range suggested. Drain, spray with cold water, and set aside (covered).
ASSEMBLE THE DISH: Preheat your oven to 400F and get out a large cast iron pan or baking dish. To it, add all the ingredients for the dish (excluding the pasta), saving the olive oil for last to be drizzled over everything evenly. Then, make some space in the middle of your pan and pour in the feta sauce.
BAKE IT: Bake this dish at 400F for 10-15 minutes. Then, broil it for another 5-10 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn. You want the cheese and tomatoes to be slightly browned. Some char on the tomatoes isn’t bad either!
FINISHING TOUCHES: Stir the cooked pasta into the feta and veggies until totally combined. Serve topped with freshly minced parsley. Enjoy!
