Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 4-6 ounces feta cheese block
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces pasta (like penne or rotini)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Add the block of feta cheese on top of the tomatoes.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and feta.
  5. Sprinkle with oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes burst and the feta is soft and golden.
  7. While the feta and tomatoes bake, cook your pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  8. Once the feta mixture is done, remove it from the oven. Mash the feta and tomatoes with a fork to create a creamy sauce.
