📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
2
Add the cherry tomatoes to a large broil-safe 9X13” baking dish, then pour in the olive oil.
3
Add salt and pepper to your taste (remember that feta is quite salty), and toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil to coat them completely.
Salt and pepper (to taste)
4
Make a well in the center of the baking dish big enough for the block of feta cheese and place it in the middle.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for ⏱️ 30-35 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes blister and the feta begins to brown.
6
When there are ⏱️ 10-15 minutes left in the baking time, fill a large pot with hot water and add a generous amount of salt.
7
Bring the water to a boil, then add in your pasta and cook according to package directions.

When the pasta is al dente, drain it in a colander over the sink and place a plate on top to keep it warm.

Once your cooking time is up, set the oven to “broil.” Only do this if you have a broil-safe pan, if not you can just bake for an additional ⏱️ 5-10 minutes at an increased heat of 450ºF if desired.
10
Broil for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on the pan. It is ready as soon as it becomes bubbly and most tomatoes have blisters.
11
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven, then add in 2 minced garlic cloves.

12
Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes and feta, and combine it into a creamy and chunky “sauce” along with the garlic.

13
Add in the fresh basil and stir to combine.

Finally, add in the cooked pasta and stir until it is coated in the feta and cherry tomato mixture.
