๐ Ingredients (Serves 4):
โ๏ธ 1 block (8 oz) feta cheese ๐ง
โ๏ธ 2 pints cherry tomatoes ๐
โ๏ธ 3 tbsp olive oil ๐ข๏ธ
โ๏ธ 4 cloves garlic, minced ๐ง
โ๏ธ ยฝ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional) ๐ถ๏ธ
โ๏ธ 1 tsp dried oregano ๐ฟ
โ๏ธ 12 oz pasta (penne, rigatoni, or spaghetti work great) ๐
โ๏ธ Salt and pepper, to taste ๐ง
โ๏ธ Fresh basil, for garnish ๐ฟ
โ๏ธ Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving) ๐ง
๐ฉโ๐ณ Instructions:
๐น Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
๐ Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
๐ In a baking dish (9x13-inch works great), place the block of feta cheese in the center.
๐ Surround the feta with the cherry tomatoes, and drizzle the entire dish with olive oil. Sprinkle with minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
๐น Step 2: Roast in the Oven
๐ Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is golden and soft.
๐ Remove from the oven, and use a spoon to gently mash the feta and tomatoes together to form a creamy sauce.
๐น Step 3: Cook the Pasta
๐ While the feta and tomatoes are roasting, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
๐น Step 4: Mix Everything Together
๐ Add the cooked pasta directly into the baked feta and tomato mixture, tossing to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
๐น Step 5: Serve & Garnish
๐ Top with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
๐ Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, tangy goodness!
