Sung Anh's Roasted Feta Cheese Pasta

Chef Sung Anh reinterprets the globally viral feta pasta by emulsifying the sauce quickly using pan-frying instead of an oven, adding creaminess with egg yolks for a rich, velvety texture.

Cooking tips

  • Feta cheese is typically brined during distribution, so it already has high salt content—avoid adding extra salt when cooking the noodles or adjusting the sauce.
  • Switching from oven baking to pan-frying reduces the cooking time to about 10 minutes, allowing you to achieve a gourmet-quality pasta quickly.
  • High-quality extra virgin olive oil loses its aroma when overheated, so it’s essential to use separate oils: one for heating and another as a finishing touch just before serving.
  • When mixing in egg yolks, avoid a very hot pan as they may scramble; always mix quickly after turning off the heat or removing the pan from the flame to maintain a smooth, silky consistency.
  • Dried basil lacks freshness, so use fresh basil and parsley whenever possible to maximize flavor and overall quality.

Recommended for

  • Those who found the original viral roasted feta pasta too light or watery.
  • Those seeking a rich, hearty texture like carbonara without heavy cream, relying instead on the natural richness of egg yolks.
  • Home cooks wanting to enjoy a trendy, special-style pasta resembling Michelin-level cuisine in just 10 minutes without needing an oven.
