Feta pasta is a year round recipe and this high protein version with seasonal vegetables proves it. The viral original is delicious but loading up on more plants and swapping in lean ground turkey makes it heartier, lighter, and genuinely better for your nutrition goals without losing any of the flavor that made it go viral in the first place.

Ingredients:

2 pints cherry tomatoes | 1 medium zucchini chopped | 1 medium squash chopped | 1 red bell pepper chopped | 2 cups broccolini chopped optional | 4 garlic cloves | 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil | Salt and black pepper | 7 to 8oz block feta | 10oz dry penne pasta | 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey | 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning | ⅓ cup fresh basil sliced | ¼ tsp paprika | 1 tsp dried oregano | ½ cup reserved pasta water

Arrange vegetables and whole garlic around the feta block in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously. Roast at 400F until feta is golden and tomatoes burst. Meanwhile cook pasta and brown turkey with Italian seasoning and paprika. Combine everything with reserved pasta water and fresh basil until creamy.

More plants. Less pasta. Same viral energy.
