I'll just say that TikTok influenced this Vegan Baked "Feta" Pasta. It was a viral recipe that is made even better by being vegan-ized.
Alright, I have another recipe under my belt where I can say that "TikTok made me do it"...if you missed my Vegan BBQ Chicken Folded Wraps, then be sure to check them out. It was my first TikTok recipe and it doesn't disappoint.

How to Make the Pasta
Ok, let's get one thing out of the way. There's no real feta OR vegan feta in this recipe. Instead I decided to use my favorite vegan cheese brand - Miyoko's. No other reason than it actually tastes good. I haven't tried this recipe with any other vegan cheese, and I wouldn't recommend it. This one worked perfectly.
This recipe is super simple - add the vegan cheese, grape tomatoes, garlic, oregano, pepper and olive oil to a baking dish. Cook for 40 minutes.
How to Serve
While the "sauce" is cooking, cook the pasta and the spinach. When you're ready to finish it off, combine everything together with some vegan creamer and fresh basil. Add salt & pepper to taste and get to eating.
This Vegan Baked Feta Pasta is beyond delicious. This puts the original recipe from TikTok to shame 😉

Rene
Hi Stacey - so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Patricia
Ooh my gosh, this was amazing! I added onions, orange bell peppers, mushrooms and and kale. This would be great for pot plucks. So tasty, my husband loved it.
Rene
Yum! Those all sound like great adds!

I made this last night for my vegan family and it was a HUGE HIT. Such a flavorful and full bodied meal with very minimal prep time. I’ll be adding it to the meal rotation for sure!
Rene
Awesome - so glad the whole fam liked it!
Cheryl
This was so good and the best dish to make at the end of a long day when you are too tired to do any heavy cooking. I didn't have cream, so I used an extra creamy oatmilk and it worked great. Also, don't skip the fresh basil, it really brightens up the dish.
Rene
I agree, the basil is a must! So glad you liked it!
Kelly Hoffer
This is amazing!!! So super duper easy!
I am not vegan, vegetarian. I used 4 oz cream cheese and then some feta.
After the cheese and tomatoes were done, I stirred in frozen spinach I had in the freezer. The heat from the tomatoes and cheese heated it right up. My family loved this!!
Rene
Yay! So glad it was a hit!

That looks amazing! What kind of unsweetened vegan creamer do you use? I got some at Christmas that said it was unsweetened and ruined a side dish LOL. It was still quite sweet.
Rene
I like Ripple! It really has no sweet taste and you can find it in the coffee creamer section!
Cherl
I forgot to add the creamer. Still was a hit with the family tonight!
Rene
Yay! So glad it was a hit Cherl!
Kelli
Do you think it would be good with anything other than tomatoes?
Rene
Sure! You could do broccoli or asparagus - those might have a different bake time, so you may need to bake them separate from the "cheese" and garlic to make sure they don't overcook. You could also omit veggies altogether and just bake the cheese and garlic and toss it with the hot pasta.

I have heard that ppl made it for their family who didn't like tomatoes and they loved it. it's not very tomatoes. you can use less tomatoes too. I added cut up mushrooms.
