If you are looking for dishes that are easy to make and actually taste really good, then look no further. I’ve compiled a list of the five most popular Tik Tok recipes that you need to make right now. I’ve tried each of these out and I swear by all of them. So put on your favorite Tik Tok sound, throw out a few Tik Tok dance moves, and let’s start cooking.
1. The Amazing Feta and Tomato Pasta
This pasta has become the sensation of Tik Tok recipes over the past few weeks. It’s a meal for anyone who loves pasta, tomatoes, and feta. If you aren’t a fan of any of these three ingredients then I suggest you move onto something else on this list. But if you are ready to have your mind blown by this simple Tik Tok recipe, I encourage you to stick around. Packed with Italian flavors, this pasta is perfect for a cozy dinner at home with friends or by yourself.
Ingredients:
- one pack of cherry tomatoes
- olive oil
- a block of feta cheese crumbles work too
- the pasta of your choice
- a couple cloves of fresh garlic
- parsley, onion powder, red chili flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper
- basil
- an optional protein of your choice (I’ve used chicken and Italian sausage)
Boil your pasta, I usually use the whole box so I can have leftovers. Rinse your tomatoes then cover the bottom of a casserole dish with the entire pack. Drizzle with olive oil and toss the tomatoes so they are covered in the oil. Create a hole in the middle of the tomatoes and place the block of feta there. Add the couple cloves of garlic. When adding the spices, it is up to your preference. No one has provided exact measurements for the spices. Usually, a once over of the entire dish with the parsley, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper does the trick. As for the red chili flakes, I like my food pretty spicy so I use a decent amount. The amount of chili flakes you use is totally up to you. Bake at 400 for about 35 minutes or until the cheese has started to melt. Add your pasta and protein once the mixture is out of the oven. Mix all together then top with basil and enjoy!
