It was such an easy concept and I’m glad it was brought to our attention.

Because, while I love goat cheese, a goats cheese pasta bake never crossed my mind.

Now, this original tiktok pasta with goat cheese is an easy go-to one-dish family recipe in our house.

Anytime we have an opportunity to enjoy a cheesy baked pasta, we’re all in!

Why You’ll Love Baked Goat Cheese Pasta

Trust me on this one – this baked artichoke pasta with creamy goat cheese is a must make!

Here are several reasons why you’ll love it.

• Easily customizable – Use whatever pasta shape you like, and add whatever veggies you like. I love red peppers and artichokes in pasta, so we always add them.
• One dish! We love one dish recipes in our house for ease, convenience and easy clean up! One pot taco tortellini is another favorite.
• 30 Minute Meal – The pasta cooks while the roasted cherry tomatoes and goat cheese bake. Then you’ll add the pasta and mix in melty cheese.
• Kids love it – Because it’s pasta, it’s creamy and it’s cheesy – what’s not to love?!

Ingredients for Goat Cheese Baked Pasta

Here’s what you’ll need to make this baked goat cheese pasta recipe.

• grape/cherry tomatoes – We used ones from our garden – so tender and juicy! These are the start of the show and really makes you appreciate juicy tomatoes.
• artichokes – I used canned artichokes that were seasoned with Italian spices. Easy to add in!
• red pepper – You can omit this or use any other bell pepper as well
• garlic – Garlic, cheese, olive oil, tomatoes – A matchmade in heaven.
• olive oil
• herbed goat cheese – You can also use a plain goat cheese, but the herbed version adds more flavor.
• spices – If you like yours spicier, opt for more red pepper flakes.
• spinach, or other greens – These wilt in nicely to add an extra few servings of veggies and nutrients.
• pasta – I used a blend of rotini and farfalle. You can use whatever you prefer.

Equipment

• Large pasta pot for boiling pasta and your choice of vegetables (I prefer this one because it’s non-toxic and stainless steel)
• 9×13 pan or casserole dish (I recommend a lasagna pan but a pyrex works fine)
• Cutting board (I like this anti bacterial cutting board and it’s super easy to clean)
• This silicone pasta clip strainer is a game changer! It saves you from using a colander to drain your pasta.

How to Make Goat Cheese Pasta Bake

We made a few swaps to the well-known tik tok pasta with goat cheese, but it’s for the better, in my humble opinion.

First, you’ll pick out your wonderful cherry tomatoes, the star of the show. We used some from our little garden plant!

Then, you’ll mix in diced pepper and artichokes (if using), and put them in your baking dish. Add some olive oil and give it all a little stir.

Create a little hole in the middle for your goat cheese log and sprinkle your herbs on top.

Then, you’ll bake it for 30-35 minutes.

Let me tell you – the smell when you take this goat cheese pasta bake out of the oven is magic.

This easy baked goat cheese pasta recipe is a great way to try artichokes and add them to your diet, too!
