Baked Feta & Cherry Tomato Pasta with Gheedy-Up Ghee 🍅🧀✨

A Viral Pasta Recipe with a Buttery Ghee Upgrade!

This creamy, rich, and indulgent baked feta pasta gets a major upgrade with Gheedy-Up ghee. Inspired by the viral TikTok recipe, we’re swapping out olive oil for ghee—and the result? A deeper, more buttery flavour with way less fat required.

While most recipes call for a full cup of olive oil, Gheedy-Up ghee is so rich and flavourful that you only need 2.5 tablespoons. It enhances the natural sweetness of roasted cherry tomatoes while blending perfectly with tangy feta and garlicky shrimp.

If you're looking for the best ghee in Canada or a quick and delicious pasta, this dish is for you! 🍝

Why Use Ghee Instead of Olive Oil?

💛 Less is more – Just 2.5 tbsp of Gheedy-Up ghee replaces 1 full cup of olive oil, meaning fewer calories while keeping all the depth of flavour.
💛 More flavour – Ghee adds a buttery, nutty richness that enhances every bite.
💛 Higher smoke point – Unlike olive oil, ghee doesn’t burn easily, making it ideal for roasting.
💛 Lactose-free & gut-friendly – Gheedy-Up ghee is slow-cooked to remove milk solids, making it easier to digest.
