I’m late to the party, but if you haven’t tried this Feta Pasta that was posted on TikTok that went viral, you should really try it soon! Feta Pasta in the instant pot comes out really great! It is what I would consider comfort food and very much like a Greek version of mac and cheese. My husband and I really enjoyed it and it was so easy to make. Let’s make TikTok feta pasta in the instant pot together.
Looking for a great mac and cheese recipe you can make in your instant pot? We have that for you right here!
Ingredients
- a block of feta cheese
- basil (fresh is so much better)
- pasta of choice, I used penne
- cherry tomatoes
- chicken broth or water
Add It All Together
pour in water or chicken broth, add your pasta. Place the feta on top of the noodles. Toss in whole tomatoes or cut some in half, it didn’t seem to matter if I cut them or not, but the flavor of tomato might be a tad stronger from cutting them.
Pressure Cooker Settings
Set the pressure cooker to 4 minutes. Nope, that’s not a typo. This recipe is literally ready to eat in just 5 min! One minute spent putting the ingredients together and cutting your basil. Placing it all in the cooker and setting the timer, and JUST 4 minutes of cook time on high pressure. Amazing, right? It’s so tasty with so little work. It’s great. Quick-release the pressure when the time is up and you are ready to stir it up and serve it. I served mine with a little fresh cut basil on top because I like don’t mind biting into basil the same as salad lettuce. You could top yours with feta crumble on top too if you like. I really like feta cheese, a lot.
