    How to make one pot feta pasta

    Guys, this recipe is too simple - it almost feels illegal to be sharing it! Almost.

    First, add the spaghetti (or pasta of choice) and other ingredients to a large pot (photo 1). Then add boiling water (photo 2), bring to the boil and simmer for 18-20 minutes!

    Photo 3 shows the pasta halfway through cooking. We'll continue to cook the pasta until the water has been absorbed leaving a thick and creamy tomato-based sauce. Swoon!

    Notes on this recipe

    • Leftover pasta will store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Always buy good quality Greek feta (not Greek-style salad cheese) for optimal texture and flavour.
    • You'll need to cook the pasta for 5-10 minutes additional to the packet instructions. As a general rule, taste your pasta at the 5-minutes after mark and then cook for a few more minutes if needed.

    Ingredients

    • 400 grams/ 14 oz Pasta Of choice - I like spaghetti. Gluten-free pasta also works
    • 4 cloves Garlic thinly sliced
    • ⅓ cup Cherry Tomatoes sliced in half
    • 400 grams/14 oz Tinned Chopped Tomatoes
    • ¼ cup Fresh Basil Leaves
    • 100 grams/3.5 oz Greek Feta cubed
    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper freshly cracked
    • 1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes optional
    • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil extra virgin
    • 3 cups/ 750 ml Boiling Water

    Instructions

    • Add all the ingredients to a large pot and cover with the boiling water. Stir well.
    • Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and lower the heat to simmer the pasta.
    • Cook the pasta for 15-20 minutes (or 5-10 minutes additional to your pasta packet instructions). Stir the pasta every 3 minutes or so to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
    • Check the pasta at the 15 minute mark - if it is still a little hard, leave the pasta to cook for a few minutes longer. The final result should have a thick and creamy sauce which is not watery.
    • Serve immediately topped with extra fresh basil. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Leftover pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Ensure to reheat well before serving.
