DrBBQ’s Feta Bake ala Dizzy Pig

By Ray Lampe, Dr. BBQ

I may not be a Tik Tok star but I know how to make a Tik Tok famous recipe into a Dizzy Pig delight. This feta bake is simple, fun and really tasty. Use whatever kind of pasta you like, but just make sure you get the tomatoes fully cooked so they’ll burst.
