So the other day I made Marry Me Baked Feta Pasta, Not only did it go viral, but I’ve had a lot of baked feta pastas and this one is 100% the best. The marinade I use took it over the top and I added shrimp at the end of the bake time and it came out world class delicious. In the words from my video I may not have invented it but I perfected it. So, My boyfriend tried it and said it was a 15/10 and then he asked me to make it again but this time put chicken in it. Now I thought to myself I’m going to use the same flavor profile but I want to add the chicken in a way to where it all bakes bubbly at the same time. So now I made it again with a few adjustments and now with chicken breasts. I’d like to mention I made this ten minutes ago and between me, my son, and my assistant it is all gone within 15 minutes. I used penne for this and it’s a solid 15/10 perfection.

After the baking time, combine all the ingredients by mixing together with a spoon to make a creamy sauce.

Absolutely! You can cut up seasonal vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, bell peppers or more just make sure they’re cut the same size as your halved cherry tomatoes.
