Because you can never have too many versions of the forever popular TikTok baked pasta with feta recipe, our friend Abishek Dekate put a middle-Eastern spin on this fan favourite with the addition of Za’atar, Harissa and an infusion of sweetness with honey. Whipped up in just over half an hour, you’ll wow your dinner guests (or just yourself) at how delicious this is for being so easy to cook.
Taste Profile: This wine's smooth, refreshing flavours balance beautifully with its structure and acidity. Orvieto also offers a unique mineral character that comes from the chalky limestone soil called tufa. The finish is long and fragrant, with hints of almond.
