TikTok calls new ‘honeycomb pasta’ recipe an ‘affront’ to food: ‘Screaming’

By Amanda M. Rye 1 month ago

Throw out your feta, because there’s a new divisive dish on TikTok — and it’s called honeycomb pasta.

Anna Rothfuss racked up almost 12 million views with her video tutorial showing how she makes something called “honeycomb pasta.” The meal, which is also sometimes called honeycomb cannelloni or rigatoni pie, is sort of a lasagna-cake hybrid.

Rothfuss started her video with the first step already completed — lining what looks to be a springform pan with upright rigatoni pasta. Typically, springform pans are used for making cheesecake, but that’s a whole other issue. 

Then, she put chunks of string cheese into each rigatoni opening.

“My trypophobia is screaming” one person commented, referring to the fear of clusters of small holes.

“I’m going to put sauce all over the whole thing,” Rothfuss went on to say as she dumped a jar of marinara sauce onto the pasta. “Then,

This Is the Best Celeb Chef Pasta Recipe

By Amanda M. Rye 1 month ago

Carbs of any kind are major comfort food to us, but the ultimate comfort food has to be a bubbling casserole dish of baked pasta. The golden cheesy top is browned to perfection, the pasta that hides underneath is perfectly cooked and coated in creamy sauces, and let’s not forget about those crispy edges of pasta that the cheese didn’t quite cover. Talk about a plate of heartwarming goodness for dinner!

After I cooked three different celebrity chef pasta recipes from Ina Garten, Alex Guarnaschelli, and Guy Fieri, the top dish was a complete surprise. The pick for the number-one spot was based on three simple factors: how easy the recipe was to follow and make, how easy the ingredients were to acquire, the look of the pasta coming out of the oven, and the overall taste.

Here are the recipes I tested, ranked from good to best. And for

Baked Feta Pasta Recipe With Boursin Cheese

By Amanda M. Rye 2 months ago

The first time I made that feta pasta that went viral on TikTok, I knew it would be the last. Unless your idea of tastiness is a mouthful of salt with a hint of tomato, you’d probably agree that baked feta and pasta aren’t the most compatible. While I’m never trying the original recipe again, I’m in love with the simplicity of the concept, and it’s pretty clear most people are too. I’ve seen TikTokers swap the tomatoes with strawberries, or go traditional Italian with ricotta or mozzarella, and Lizzo even has a vegan version, but the one I knew I wanted to experiment with was the version that uses Boursin. Boursin is a garlic- and herb-seasoned cheese with a creamy texture that’s a cross between goat cheese and cream cheese. It’s normally spread on crackers, but this recipe proves it’s great on pasta too.

Just like the original, you’ll
