While TikTok is an app for comedic relief, it’s also fast becoming a leading trendsetter, not just for beauty products and skincare tips, but for foodies too.
It’s home to a never-ending stream of quick and easy recipes, ASMR cook-along’s and speedy ways to rustle up meals when you just can’t be bothered.
During a pandemic when most of us are spending all our time at home, deciding what to cook for dinner and getting round to actually doing it, are two mind-numbingly, tedious daily tasks, so anything that will give us a bit of inspiration or ways to make life easier, we’re all ears.
The TikTok feta pasta became one of the app’s biggest culinary hits when a video was shared of the now-viral recipe.
It involves roasting a tray full of cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and a whole block of feta, before adding your cooking pasta, stirring together and enjoying a cheesy meal that takes less than 20 minutes to make.

Since then, there’s been a number of variations of the dish, where users share their own take on it, including swapping feta for mozzarella and adding different vegetables.

In this handy kit, you’ll find a block of Asda’s own feta cheese, a 500g bag of penne pasta, Asda grower's selection of cherry tomatoes, dried basil seasoning and three garlic heads, for less than £4.
It’s a pretty impressive bargain, and an easy way to try a new recipe without hunting high and low for the ingredients in your next supermarket shop.
Not only that, it’s a no-brainer option if you’re struggling with deciding what to cook for dinner, or don’t have everything you need already in your cupboards, without leaving any waste.
The rest of the garlic and basil seasoning can also come in handy for future dishes too.
