Ingredients

Scale

450 gr / 16 oz cherry tomatoes, or grape
1 red onion, halved and then quartered
2 garlic cloves, minced
80 gr / 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ tsp fine sea salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
225 gr / 8 oz 1 block feta cheese
250 gr / 9 oz dried pasta of choice
4 tbsps fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200C / 400F.

In a baking dish add the tomatoes, red onion and minced garlic. Toss in the olive oil until coated and season with salt and pepper.

Make room and place the feta block in the middle of the baking dish. Turn a couple of times to coat in the seasoned oil. You can also add a touch more seasoning on top of the feta block.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cherry tomatoes have burst and the feta cheese is starting to melt.

While the tomatoes and feta cheese is baking, cook the pasta according to package directions. You can use any pasta of your choice.

Once the pasta is cooked, save ¼ cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta well.

When the tomatoes and feta are cooked, remove from the oven. Gently mash the tomatoes with a fork or a spoon and stir everything together until it forms a creamy sauce.

Add in the cooked pasta and toss to combine until coated and creamy. You can add in some of the pasta water to help bind the sauce together.

Stir in chopped fresh basil and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve warm with more fresh basil.
