We took the viral TikTok feta pasta, gave it a Traeger-style twist, and added savory sausage and bell peppers to turn it into a complete, effortless meal. Try this Traeger Feta Pasta with Sausage and Bell Peppers and share it with friends — it’s one of those recipes that feels like cheating because it’s so easy and so good.
Traeger Feta Pasta with Sausage and Bell Peppers
This feta-tomato pasta went viral on TikTok for good reason. We adapted the idea for the Traeger (or any pellet smoker or oven) and built on it by adding sliced sausage, bell peppers, and a touch of white wine for depth. The result is a roasted, slightly smoky sauce that combines with creamy feta to coat fresh ravioli for an indulgent, straightforward weeknight dinner.
If you don’t want heavy cream, this version keeps things lighter and wine-forward while delivering rich, comforting flavor. It’s a great recipe to customize — swap sausages, use different pasta shapes, or adjust seasoning to match what you have on hand.

How to Make This Recipe — Overview
Below is a quick overview of the steps so you know what to expect. The detailed, printable recipe card with ingredient amounts follows after the overview.
- Preheat your pellet grill, smoker, or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Assemble the ingredients in a grill-safe baking dish: place the feta block in the center and arrange halved tomatoes, sliced bell pepper, sliced onion, minced garlic, and sliced sausages around it. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and pour in the white wine and chicken stock.
- Roast for about 30–45 minutes, until the tomatoes and vegetables are caramelized and fragrant. Timing depends on how roasted you like your vegetables.

- Toss the roasted mixture: remove the dish from the grill or oven and stir until the feta melts into the wine and stock, forming a creamy sauce that coats the vegetables. Adjust consistency with extra stock if needed.
- Serve the sauce over the drained ravioli and finish with grated Parmesan. Serve hot.
Recipe FAQ
The oven works perfectly for this recipe at the same temperature. You can also prepare it in a Dutch oven over low heat on the stovetop or on a charcoal grill using indirect heat.
Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or gently on the stovetop with a splash of stock or water to loosen the sauce.
Feta gives this recipe its signature tang and saltiness, so it’s recommended. If you prefer something milder, try a small amount of goat cheese or cream cheese, though the flavor will differ.

Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).

Notes
Any sausage works here: pork, chicken, or Italian-style sausage will all be delicious. If you use spicy sausage, expect a bolder flavor. Adjust seasoning and wine amount to taste.
