Ingredients
- 100g pasta (your choice, but go wild with penne!)
- 100g feta cheese block
- 200g cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a small baking dish, place the block of feta cheese right in the center. Surround it with cherry tomatoes.
- Sprinkle minced garlic over the tomatoes and feta. Drizzle the olive oil over everything like you mean it!
- Add a shower of red pepper flakes, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until tomatoes are bursting and the feta looks like it wants to hug you.
- While feta and friends are getting cozy, cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Smash the tomatoes and mix with the feta until you achieve creamy gold.
- Toss the cooked pasta in the dish, making sure it’s entirely coated in the cheesy tomato goodness.
- Top with torn fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
Suggestions
- Swap cherry tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes for a twist.
- Can’t find feta? Ricotta or goat cheese will do the trick.
- Add a handful of spinach to the pasta for extra greens.
- A hint of lemon zest at the end can elevate the flavors.
- Feeling fancy? Sprinkle some toasted pine nuts on top for crunch.
