Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block 8 oz feta cheese
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound pasta e.g., penne or fusilli
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a baking dish, combine the feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the feta is golden and melty.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain.
  5. Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir everything together, breaking up the feta with a fork.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish, including a bit of the reserved pasta water as needed to achieve the desired creaminess.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and additional black pepper if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water to bring back creaminess.
