Ingredients

  • Cherry tomatoes, about 2 cups (fresh and ripe for sweetness)
  • Block of feta cheese, approximately 7 oz (good-quality Greek feta recommended)
  • Olive oil, 3 tablespoons (extra virgin for flavor)
  • Garlic cloves, 3 minced
  • Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, a handful for garnish
  • Pasta of choice, 8 oz (penne or fusilli recommended)
  • Ground beef or turkey, 1 lb (lean but juicy)
  • Shredded mozzarella, 1 cup
  • Italian breadcrumbs, ¾ cup
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup
  • Fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped
  • Egg, 1 large (room temperature)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Marinara sauce, 2 cups (homemade or store-bought)
  • Instant coffee, 2 tablespoons
  • Sugar, 2 tablespoons
  • Hot water, 2 tablespoons
  • Milk of choice, 1 cup (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baked Feta Pasta:
  2. 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the block of feta cheese in the center of an oven-safe baking dish.
  3. 2. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the feta. Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil over cheese and tomatoes, sprinkle minced garlic, salt, and cracked black pepper evenly.
  4. 3. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until tomatoes burst and feta is golden and soft with caramelized edges.
  5. 4. Meanwhile, cook 8 oz pasta in boiling salted water until al dente (about 10 minutes). Drain and reserve some pasta water.
  6. 5. Remove feta and tomatoes from oven. Mash and mix into a creamy sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed.
  7. 6. Toss cooked pasta in sauce, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
  8. Make Mozzarella-Stuffed Meatballs:
  9. 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix 1 lb ground meat, ¾ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup Parmesan, chopped parsley, 1 egg, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  10. 2. Shape mixture into small patties, place shredded mozzarella in center, then seal into balls.
  11. 3. Heat skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs on all sides for 5-7 minutes (optional).
  12. 4. Transfer meatballs to baking dish, pour 2 cups marinara sauce over them.
  13. 5. Bake for 20 minutes until cooked through and cheese is melty inside.
  14. 6. Serve hot with extra sauce and fresh herbs if desired.
  15. Whip the Dalgona Coffee:
  16. 1. Combine 2 tablespoons instant coffee, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons hot water in a medium bowl.
  17. 2. Beat with hand mixer or whisk for 3-5 minutes until thick, fluffy, and light caramel colored.
  18. 3. Pour 1 cup cold milk into a glass and spoon whipped coffee on top.
  19. 4. Stir gently before drinking.

Notes

Add reserved pasta water to loosen feta pasta sauce if too thick. Keep hands wet when shaping meatballs to prevent sticking. Roast feta pasta until caramelized edges form for best flavor. Whip coffee patiently for stiff peaks. Start boiling pasta near end of feta baking for timing. Meatballs can be browned before baking for extra flavor but can be baked directly.
