  4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions and drain.

Notes

Cook pasta al dente: Ensure you don't overcook the pasta. Otherwise, it will break up when you mix it with the other ingredients and look messy.
If you bake for too long and it dries: No worries! Simply add a little bit of the pasta cooking water and mix to make your feta pasta creamy again.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container on the fridge for up to 5 days.
