I came across a recipe on Instagram originally posted by MegunUnprocessed and it looked interesting. I thought I would add my own touches, ingredients, and season and roast the cherry tomatoes rather than cook on the stovetop. The results were nothing short of spectacular.

There are several new vegan feta kinds of cheese on the market these days and this was my first time cooking with the Trader Joe’s brand. I think I will always opt for this vegan feta because the taste was smooth and creamy rather than overly pungent.

You can use any type of pasta and it is also ok to use dried, rather than fresh basil but the fresh, in my opinion, definitely makes a better pasta dish.

ENJOY!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbl. olive oil
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes rinsed and drained
  • 1 tsp. salt less to taste
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. Oregano
  • 10 large basil leaves 5 for baking and 5 for topping
  • 7 oz. trader joe's vegan Feta, one package drained
  • 1/4 cup Follow Your Heart Vegan Parmesan Shreds

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Arrange cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, garlic, onion, oregano, and half of the basil leaves. Mix the tomatoes and basil with your hands so everything gets evenly coated. Make sure the basil leaves cook under the tomatoes to ensure they do not dry out. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are fork-tender.
  3. When the tomatoes are cooking, place 1/2 tsp. olive oil or cooking spray in a saucepan. Cover and simmer over low heat for 8-10 minutes or until Feta has melted completely. Add FYH vegan parmesan shreds to the pan and stir until melted.
  4. Cook 1 lb. of pasta of choice, drain.
  5. When tomatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and dump them, juices and all, into the saucepan with the melted feta and parmesan. Using an immersion blender, mix until smooth.
  6. Add pasta to the pan and stir until the sauce has coated the noodles.
  7. Serve with the remaining basil leaves, chopped, and more Follow Your Heart Vegan Parmesan Shreds.
