“I tried the internet’s most viral pasta recipe. Here’s how it went.”

Sorry to internet shame you, but if you haven’t heard of The Viral Feta Pasta, what rock are you living under - and can I bring some of this tasty TikTok carb to you?

No seriously - it’s everywhere. Even my mum has heard of it and she follows, like, twelve people. 

This trending dish started when Finnish food blogger Jennie Hayrinen made it in 2019 and started the hashtag #uunifetapasta. At the time, Finnish supermarkets reportedly sold out of feta because of the recipe. 

Now, it’s had a resurgence (read: 334.7m Feta Pasta hashtag users on TikTok) thanks to an account called Feel Good Foodie sharing her simple video on how to make it.

It takes about 45 minutes all up so it’s great for a mid-week dinner or even a dinner party.

It’s one of those meals that the output is far greater than the input, so it tastes way more luxe and gourmet than it actually is. 

If this recipe isn’t your jam, don’t worry because there are plenty of other variations you could try, including this goat's cheese, honey and pesto one:

You asked if it was possible to make the baked feta pasta with another cheese, so I tried goat cheese! #fetapasta #tiktokpartner #learnontiktok
