I tested out a spin on the viral feta pasta recipe using a favorite TJ’s product. Let’s make Trader Joe’s Spinach Artichoke Pasta from TikTok!
Show of hands – who else loves “comfort food but make it easy” meals?
I love to spend time in the kitchen enjoying and savoring the time to make a delicious meal for my family.
But sometimes at the end of a long day, you just aren’t in the mood to make an elaborate meal. We’ve all been there.
With the winter temps drop, I want a warm, cozy dinner to take the away the chill. I made the baked feta pasta after seeing it go viral on TikTok. It was delicious and hit the spot so I figured why not try out a spin on this viral dish using Trader Joe’s Spinach Artichoke Dip (You can find it on the freezer section).
Trader Joe’s Spinach Artichoke Pasta
Simply substitute Trader Joe’s Spinach Artichoke Dip for the block of feta as the star of the dish. Using cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic, this is a simple recipe to follow. It’s also a great recipe for using up extra veggies. I added chopped up zucchini from my crisper to increase the flavor. A shallot or even frozen broccoli florets would also be great additions, make it your own!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an oven-safe dish with oil spray (Trader Joe’s avocado oil spray is a favorite).
Add the grape tomatoes and other chopped up veggies.
Toss with 1/4 cup olive oil and season with garlic (I used garlic powder since that’s what I had on-hand), oregano, salt, and pepper.
Create space in the middle to place the frozen Trader Joe’s Spinach Artichoke Dip.
Bake in the oven at 350 for 50 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare your pasta.
Mix the cooked pasta into the sauce and enjoy!
Note: I used Trader Joe’s Hearts of Palm pasta for this dish. The trick to making this product taste like actual pasta is to thoroughly rinse it with cold water, separating the strands, and then sautéing until the water is absorbed.
