An Australian home chef has added his own delicious twist to the TikTok viral pasta recipe.
The original viral video sees cherry and feta tomatoes baked in the oven, then the pasta is stirred with water before being cooked again to make a simple, tasty meal.
But the TikTok star behind the ‘cookwithayeh’ channel decided that the dish could be made in a different way – using mushrooms and spinach instead.

An Australian home chef has added her own delicious version of the viral video TikTok – and people seem to be on board with the new version
The young lady takes mushrooms, thyme, extra virgin olive oil and red onions and puts them in a baking dish with a block of feta cheese.
Like the original video the cheese is placed in the center of the baking dish – and the whole thing is put in the oven.
Then once it comes out Ayeh mixes the now soft, melted feta through the rest of the ingredients.
She also adds a few cups of baby spinach to the dish before pouring the pasta on top of it.
She add water again and then puts the dish in the oven again.

But not everyone was happy with it – one man criticized the young woman for calling it her own dish.
‘Do pasta feta bakte? Do you mean the same dish going past everyone’s FYP? DO pasta? It’s the same dish as everyone else’s food, ‘he wrote.

This is not the first time that the viral pasta on mother-of-four Melinda, from Sydney, has shared images with the Facebook group Budget Friendly Meals Australia and she revealed that she was shredded chicken for the dish.
The recipe is easy to make and requires a number of ingredients – a block of feta cheese, cherry tomato, garlic, oregano, pasta, chicken breast, chicken stock cubes, olive oil and parsley for garnishing.
Earlier in the week television presenter Jules Sebastian jumped on the popular food movement, reportedly feta cheese was sold out in Finland.
Melinda, a mother-of-four, from Sydney, shared images for the Facebook group Budget Friendly Meals Australia and revealed that she was bringing skinned chicken to the dish
Melinda said the food was a ‘big hit’ with her young children and she highly recommends it to others.
To make the delicious food, Melinda preheated the oven at 220 degrees Celsius and placed the feta and tomatoes in a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil.
She then added a sprinkle of Italian herbs, salt and pepper and garlic mince before cooking for 25 minutes.
While the ingredients were baking in the oven, she prepared the pasta.
Once the feta was yellow, she used a potato masher to mash the cherry and feta tomatoes together.
The pasta was then drained and squeezed into the feta mixture along with a cup of pasta water for flavor.
The chicken was cooked in the pressure cooker with stock water, salt and pepper, Italian mixed herbs and Vegeta seasoning for 25 minutes.
The pressure cooker machine cooks the food at a faster speed compared to a conventional oven.
When the meat was ready Melinda used two beaks to cut the chicken into pieces to add to the pasta.

Other home cooks part of the Facebook group who had tried the popular feta pasta themselves agreed that it tastes ‘amazing’.
One woman reported adding salmon to the dish while another sprinkled a chili flask and chopped parsley on top.
‘I enjoyed it! But because we have so many [I used] two feta blocks and three tomato punnets. I also overdo the garlic but oh so yummy, ’said one woman.
