Baked feta pasta
Ingredients:
​
-
800g cherry tomatoes
-
1/3 cup olive oil
-
1 block feta cheese
-
260g pasta of choice
-
2 cloves garlic, crushed
-
fresh basil, chopped
Methods:​
​
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a baking dish, toss the tomatoes with the olive
oil and place the feta in the middle, turning it to coat it in oil. Season
everything with salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes.

4. When the feta and tomatoes are done, remove from the oven and immediately add the garlic and crushed red pepper, if using. Stir everything together until the
tomatoes and feta combine into a creamy sauce.

5. Stir in the drained pasta until well coated and creamy, adding in a bit of
pasta water to loosen if too thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir
in some chopped basil and finish with crushed red pepper.
