Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) block feta cheese
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 ounces pasta (such as penne or rotini)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the block of feta cheese in the center of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the feta cheese.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and tomatoes.
  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and pepper over the tomatoes.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is soft and creamy.
  7. While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  8. Once the feta and tomatoes are done baking, remove the baking dish from the oven.
  9. Use a fork to mash the feta and burst tomatoes into a creamy sauce.
  10. Add the drained pasta to the baking dish with the feta and tomato sauce.
  11. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated.
  12. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
  13. Stir in the fresh basil, if using.
  14. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
