I buy this from a local store called Feinkost Demir. It’s labeled “pascha paste” and the shop worker said it had sheep’s cheese. I have tried searching online for a recipe and can’t find it. Anyone know the name of it? It’s got garlic, and it’s like a cheese spread but not as smooth and creamy like cream cheese.

if you google “Pascha Paste” or „türkische Schafskäsecreme“ you will find lots of recipes.
Looks like Obatzda to me. It’s a Bavarian dish:

Liptauer?
could be this

Looks like a variation of this:

I don’t know this particular spread. To me, Pascha paste indicates an arabic/turkish owner/origin.
These pastes are custom made and usually sold in delis.
The paste on your photo looks like the greek dish Tirokaferi ( [https://www.edeka.de/rezeptwelt/rezepte/tirokafteri/](https://www.edeka.de/rezeptwelt/rezepte/tirokafteri/) ) or Chtipiti ( [https://www.essen-und-trinken.de/rezepte/chtipiti-ofenpaprika-feta-dip-12786130.html](https://www.essen-und-trinken.de/rezepte/chtipiti-ofenpaprika-feta-dip-12786130.html) ). Maybe one of these dishes tastes similar. Although they do not contain garlic.
Obazda?
I usually use this:
Dried tomatoes in oil
Feta (use real feta!)
Garlic
Salt pepper
Get the tomatoes out of the oil, peel garlic and everything in a mixer, then add the feta and mix again. You can add some salt and pepper but be aware, feta is already quite salty. Usually you don’t need any salt or just a tiny amount.
Could also be Kopanist
Is it okay to name it Pascha Pasta?
It looks like “Acılı” we call it in my region. That’s a Turkish breakfast sauce. You can find it as “biberli peynir ezmesi”.
Try “[Schwiegermuttercreme](https://germanabendbrot.de/2013/05/21/die-schwiegermutter-oder-scharfe-feta-creme-mit-turkischer-geheimzutat/)”.
Obazda?
In Greece we call it xtipiti. Here is a[recipe](https://souvlakiforthesoul.com/htipiti-greek-red-pepper-feta-dip/)
