Basically, this tasty recipe combines a block of feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper together in a baking dish, which then gets roasted to create a cheesy sauce for your pasta of choice. It's easy, comforting and only takes 25 minutes to make, so we're not shocked that this dish went viral. As the trend continues to pop we're seeing different takes, like this Spanakopita-inspired version from Erin @spinachandbacon and the newest combo that ditches cherry tomatoes and swaps in—wait for it—strawberries!
