Baked feta pasta is a simple recipe made by oven roasting a block of feta cheese with cherry tomatoes to create a salty and cheesy sauce!

Ingredients

  • cavatappi pasta
    8 oz
  • cherry tomatoes
    2 pint
  • block feta cheese
    8 oz
  • extra virgin olive oil
    ½ c
  • salt
    ¼ tsp
  • black pepper
    ¼ tsp
  • garlic cloves

    minced

    2
  • fresh basil
    ¼ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the cherry tomatoes in an oven-safe baking dish. Pour the olive oil on top, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined.

  2. 2

    Place the feta block in the middle of the baking dish surrounded by the cherry tomatoes, and flip a couple times to coat it with the olive oil and seasoning.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, until the cherry tomatoes burst, and the feta cheese melts.

  4. 4

    While the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the pasta in a pot of salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the cooking liquid in case you'd like to toss it in.

  5. 5

    Immediately add the garlic and basil leaves to the cooked tomatoes and feta and toss everything to combine.

  6. 6

    Transfer the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to combine. Garnish with more fresh basil and serve warm.
