Easy family dinner recipe to cook with the kids

This is such a mild and creamy dinner that anyone will like. Even better, it’s super simple to make. It’s one of those recipes that’s great for cooking with your children since it’s so simply to make and has so few steps and ingredients. Especially the 10th step is always a blast for the kids when they have to smash everything in the casserole (not going to lie, I quite enjoy that part myself, too!). This is one of those quick pasta dinners that’s just great for the family.

Baked feta pasta

If you love feta cheese, creamy food, and pasta recipes, this meal is just for you! We have added a lot delicious herbs for seasoning as well as some fresh basil which really brings home the overall flavor. We like to use fettuccine here but you can also use spaghetti, penne or whatever type of pasta you prefer. Come to think of it, as I’m writing this, fusilli must be great in this particular pasta dish as it’ll soak up the creamy, cheesy sauce perfectly!

TikTok pasta bake

As you can see there are really few ingredients in this pasta recipe. There are also not many steps as the majority of the dish is just placing ingredients into a casserole, baking it while your pasta boils, and then mashing it all up. One thing to note is that we recommend you use a good quality feta cheese block. They will melt better and become nice and creamy while also being full of flavor.
