Simple Feta and Tomato Pasta Ingredients

You’re not going to believe how just 8 ingredients can create such incredible flavor. Here’s everything you’ll need:

Cheese – A whole block of fresh feta cheese will give you the finest results. It’s less processed than crumbled feta and will give you a superior melty texture.
Tomatoes – We used cherry tomatoes, but grape tomatoes work as well. The key is to use small tomatoes for the most concentrated, sweet flavor.
Olives – We used a combination of kalamata and green olives for a savory, salty taste. However, you could use whatever you like finest.
Olive Oil – This helps coat the pasta for a smooth consistency and helps caramelize the veggies for a warm, hearty meal. Plus, it provides a boost of healthy fats to keep you full!
Seasonings – Just oregano, salt, and pepper are all you need to take this feta pasta recipe from good to great.
Pasta – Use whatever you like finest!

Storage Options

This pasta will infuse your home with a smell so scrumptious, that your family will undoubtedly be drooling and ready to eat! This means that having leftovers will be super unlikely. However, if you do, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

We don’t recommend freezing this feta pasta, because the cheese won’t thaw well!

Frequently Asked Questions About this Feta Pasta Recipe

Can I add chicken to this recipe?

Absolutely! You can add boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the slow cooker at the beginning of the cooking time. Make sure to adjust the seasonings accordingly to accommodate the additional protein.

What types of pasta work finest with this sauce?

Pasta shapes like cavatappi, rotini, bow-tie, penne, or rigatoni are our go-to choices because they hold the sauce well. Avoid using egg noodles — they tend to break apart easily.

How can I make this dish spicier?

To add some heat, incorporate red pepper flakes or add diced spicy peppers along with the tomatoes. Adjust the spice level to your preference!

What can I serve this dish with?

This pasta is great all on its own, but it pairs perfectly with a simple green salad and crusty bread. For a heartier meal, try serving it alongside grilled vegetables or roasted chicken.
