Pro Tip of Baked Feta Pasta with Chicken:
For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of cream cheese before mixing the pasta. You can also substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein twist. Always reserve some pasta water for silky sauce consistency. Inspired by the original TikTok Feta Pasta craze
