Ever wonder why some recipes blow up online? It’s that perfect mix of easy prep and drool-worthy results that makes TikTok spaghetti a star.

The Magic of Feta and Tomatoes

The stars here are feta cheese and cherry tomatoes, which bake into a creamy, tangy sauce that coats every strand of spaghetti. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs add depth and richness. I learned the hard way that overcrowding the baking dish can make the sauce watery—give those tomatoes room to roast! It’s like a flavor explosion in every bite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Alright, let’s talk ingredients. This recipe uses simple, pantry-friendly stuff to create that viral, restaurant-quality taste. Here’s what you’ll grab:

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 1 block (8 oz) feta cheese
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Optional: 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish 🙂

Substitutions That Work

No feta? Use goat cheese or ricotta, but feta’s tangy creaminess is the OG, IMO. Out of cherry tomatoes? Grape tomatoes or diced regular tomatoes work, though cherry tomatoes burst with flavor. Want it vegan? Swap feta for vegan feta or nutritional yeast. The key is that creamy-tangy balance, so don’t skip the cheese or tomatoes!

Step-by-Step: How to Make TikTok Spaghetti

Ready to cook? This is so easy, you’ll wonder why you didn’t jump on this TikTok trend sooner. Here’s how to nail it:

Step 1: Prep the Baking Dish

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the feta block in the center of a 9×13 baking dish.
2. Surround the feta with cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the feta is soft and golden.

Step 2: Cook the Spaghetti

1. Boil spaghetti in a large pot of salted water until al dente, per package instructions.
2. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
3. Keep the pasta warm while the feta-tomato mix bakes.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

1. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Mash the feta and tomatoes with a fork to create a creamy sauce.
2. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
3. Taste and adjust with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

1. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the feta-tomato sauce until fully coated.
2. Garnish with basil or parsley for a fresh, colorful touch.
3. Serve hot and enjoy the viral goodness!

Pro tip: I once crammed too many tomatoes into the dish, and the sauce was more soup than sauce. Give those tomatoes space to roast for that perfect creamy texture!

Tips for Nailing TikTok Spaghetti

Wanna make this pasta next-level? Here are my go-to tricks:

• Don’t Crowd the Dish: Spread tomatoes around the feta to ensure even roasting.
• Use a Whole Feta Block: A full feta block gives the creamiest, tangiest sauce.
• Cook Pasta Al Dente: Slightly undercook spaghetti so it holds up in the sauce.
• Taste the Sauce: Adjust salt or red pepper flakes to hit your perfect flavor balance.
• Add Fresh Herbs: Garnish with basil or parsley for a pop of freshness.

Ever wonder why TikTok recipes go viral? It’s the simple ingredients and bold flavors that make this spaghetti a social media sensation.

FAQs About TikTok Spaghetti

Can I use a different cheese?

Yup! Goat cheese or ricotta works, but feta is the viral star for a reason.
