Vegan Baked Feta Pasta

Step 1

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!

Step 2

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).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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!

Step 5

FINISHING TOUCHES: Stir the cooked pasta into the feta and veggies until totally combined. Serve topped with freshly minced parsley. Enjoy!
