Enhanced by aromatic garlic and fresh basil, this dish is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion. The unique blend of Dan-O’s Italian-O and original seasoning elevates the flavors, making it a must-try for pasta lovers. With a smooth or chunky sauce option, you can customize the texture to your liking.
You can use any pasta for baked feta pasta, but we like rigatoni. Penne, and oyster shell pasta would also work great here, but at the end of the day, you could use any pasta ya wanted. You could also add some pan-fried pancetta, or nduja for a little added protein. You could also just forgo the pasta, melt the cheeses and tomatoes together to make a Dan-O-Myte appetizer to serve with some crackers and veggies.

Wow!🤩💖💖
Yum Yum Get You Some!!
Is there a substitute cheese that can be used if you don’t like feta?
Hmmm, you could try parmesan or mozzarella, or even goat cheese if you like it. If you go with a hard cheese, you’ll probably want to chop it up so it melts better!
Cream cheese is what I use in place of feta for the same consistency…
