TikTok can’t get enough of pasta hacks.
Users on the video-sharing app have been fascinated by the “honeycomb pasta” trend, which is essentially a new age lasagna or baked ziti, but with different noodles.
WHY TIKTOK USERS ARE GOING CRAZY FOR BAKED FETA PASTA
To make honeycomb pasta, home chefs cook rigatoni or another tube-shaped pasta and place each noodle in a round casserole pan vertically. Once the honeycomb look is achieved, the TikTok chefs put a cube of mozzarella cheese is inside each noodle before the dish is covered with alternating layers of sauce, cheese, veggies, herbs and meat (or meat substitute for vegan diets).
When complete, the honeycomb pasta is placed in an oven for a set amount of time.
