This TikTok pasta is insanely delicious and simple to make. Just toss cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and a block of feta in a baking dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bowtie pasta
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 pints (20 oz) cherry tomatoes
  • 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 pinches red pepper flakes
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. To a baking dish, add tomatoes, olive oil, and salt; toss to coat.

  2. 2

    Place the feta in the center of the dish and drizzle with more olive oil. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.

  3. 3

    Bake for 30 minutes. Increase the heat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 5-10 more minutes, or until the feta has browned and the tomatoes have blistered.

  4. 4

    While baking, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the noodles but save some pasta water for the sauce (about 1 cup).

  5. 5

    Once cooked, take the baking dish out of the oven and stir in the garlic and basil. The residual heat will warm the garlic and take out its raw edge.

  6. 6

    Toss in the pasta. Add pasta water if the sauce is too dry. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
