Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs cherry tomatoes
  • 7 oz feta cheese block
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced or crushed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 12 oz pasta such as penne, rotini, or spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large baking dish
  • Large pot
  • Fork

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place cherry tomatoes in a large baking dish. Add the block of feta cheese to the center of the tomatoes.
  2. Drizzle generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the tomatoes.
Baking & Cooking
  1. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is soft and slightly golden. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions.
Combine & Serve
  1. Remove the baking dish from the oven and use a fork to mash the feta and burst tomatoes together, creating a creamy sauce. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the baking dish, tossing to combine with the sauce.
  2. Stir in the fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. Ensure your baking dish is large enough to mix the pasta directly in it for easy cleanup.
