A viral sensation, this baked feta pasta dish is incredibly easy and delicious. Cherry tomatoes and a block of feta cheese bake together until tender and creamy, then you mix it all up with pasta for a simple yet satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 block (7-8 ounces) feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 ounces pasta (like penne, rotini, or spaghetti)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish.
  3. Add the block of feta cheese in the center of the tomatoes.
  4. Drizzle everything with olive oil.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are bursting and the feta is soft and slightly browned.
  7. While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook your pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  8. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Add the minced garlic to the dish.
  9. Mash the feta and tomatoes with a fork until creamy.
  10. Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like chopped onion or zucchini to the baking dish.
  • For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes.
  • Any type of pasta will work well with this sauce.
