Feta Pasta

The stores actually ran out of feta cheese here," said Häyrinen, whose original blog post about the dish has over three million views. "#FetaPasta was awarded as the phenomenon of the year in 2019 in Finland. I'm not surprised it's going viral elsewhere too.

Does the feta pasta reheat well?

This dish is amazing, enjoyed it as soon as you make it. However, you can definitely refrigerate the leftovers and serve again the next day. To reheat, I recommend adding everything to a large saute pan with a bit of milk or cream.

Can you freeze pasta with feta cheese?

Transfer pasta to airtight containers or freezer bags. Make sure the container is sealed and secure. Store up to three months.
