If you're looking for quick and healthy meal ideas, using simple ingredients like skinny fettuccine, feta cheese (5%), and cherry tomatoes is a great option. These three delicious dishes will satisfy your cravings while keeping things light and nutritious. Let's dive into each recipe!

 

Skinny Fettuccine, Feta Cheese

  • 3 packets of skinny pasta (fettuccine shape)
  • 20-25 whole cherry tomatoes
  • 250 g feta cheese (5% fat)
  • Atlantic sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry oregano
  • To serve: 50 g feta cheese (5%) + fresh tomato

Step-by-Step Preparation Method

1. Rinse the Skinny Pasta

  • Take all the bags of skinny pasta (fettuccine shape) and place them in a colander.
  • Rinse the pasta thoroughly under a cold tap to remove any excess starch or preservatives.
  • Set the pasta aside for later use.

2. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  • This temperature ensures the feta cheese and cherry tomatoes roast evenly, bringing out their full flavor.

3. Arrange the Feta and Tomatoes in a Baking Dish

  • In the center of a large baking dish, place the 250 g of feta cheese (5%).
  • Around the feta, arrange 20-25 whole cherry tomatoes evenly to ensure they roast perfectly alongside the cheese.

4. Season the Feta and Tomatoes

  • Sprinkle Atlantic sea salt over the dish for a touch of natural saltiness.
  • Add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  • Finally, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dry oregano over the feta and tomatoes for an aromatic, Mediterranean touch.

5. Bake the Dish

  • Bake the feta and tomatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  • Look for the tomatoes to become roasted and golden, with the feta also turning golden brown, indicating that they’re perfectly cooked.

6. Mash the Baked Ingredients

  • Once the dish is out of the oven, use a fork to mash the roasted tomatoes and feta together.
  • This step creates a creamy, flavorful sauce that will coat the pasta.

7. Combine with Skinny Pasta

  • Add the rinsed skinny pasta to the baking dish with the mashed tomatoes and feta.
  • Gently toss the pasta to ensure it's fully coated with the creamy mixture of roasted feta and tomatoes.

8. Garnish and Serve

  • Crumble an additional 50 g of feta cheese (5%) over the top of the pasta.
  • For extra freshness, squeeze the seeds of a soft tomato over the dish, adding a burst of acidity.
  • Serve the dish immediately while it's warm for the best texture and flavor.
