Ingredients
Scale
- 200g pasta (any type)
- 200g feta cheese
- 400g cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), filling your kitchen with anticipation!
- Prepare the baking dish: In a baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir it all to combine the ingredients beautifully.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and the feta is golden. The aroma will start to envelop you like a warm hug!
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve a little pasta water for later—it’s like liquid gold for adding just the right creaminess!
- Combine the cooked pasta with the feta and tomatoes after they are done baking. Don’t be shy; gently coax the creamy feta into the pasta while adding a splash of reserved pasta water to achieve that silky texture.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving to add a pop of color and a fragrant finish.
Notes
