I’m not on TikTok but I’ve still heard great things about this dish and had to try it. Unfortunately when I went to the store to buy the ingredients I had a hard time finding feta. I looked everywhere, so I thought to myself what is the next best cheese? Hmm….Goat cheese came to mind. I honestly wasn’t sure if it would work but I thought I would give it a try.

In this Goat Cheese Pasta Dish I’ll be sharing today it’s made with a handful of simple ingredients. You’ll need some Goat cheese of course, some little tomatoes, garlic and kale. Are you wondering why I picked goat cheese? Well, for one it’s one of my favorites, and goat cheese is great in so many dishes! Plus I’ve had chicken breasts stuffed with goat cheese before and let me tell you they were so delicious! I love the creamy consistency of the goat cheese as it bakes in the oven. It’s absolutely delicious! I feel like it’s a great alternative to feta.
