Ingredients
- 4 oz. pasta (Penne, Fusilli or Rigatoni work well)
- 1 block of feta cheese (about 7-8 oz)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¼ cup cup olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish and add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are coated in the oil and seasonings. Place the feta cheese block in the center of the baking dish.
- Bake the dish for about 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta cheese is melted and golden brown. While the dish is being cooked, cook the pasta and then drain it.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Use a fork to mash the feta cheese and tomatoes together until it forms a creamy sauce.
- Add pasta to the baking dish with the feta cheese and tomato sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh chopped basil leaves, if desired.
