Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams pasta
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Finishing Touches:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh basil
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C) for perfect roasting.
- Grab a ceramic baking dish and tumble 2 cups of cherry tomatoes into it with a 200g block of feta cheese centered in the middle.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the tomatoes and cheese, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano across the surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and roast for precisely 30 minutes, watching the tomatoes transform until they burst and the feta turns wonderfully soft and golden.
- While the cheese and tomatoes roast, boil your 200g pasta in salted water according to the package timing until perfectly al dente.
- Drain the pasta thoroughly, then transfer it directly into the hot baking dish with the roasted tomatoes and melted feta.
- Use tongs to mix everything together, coating each pasta strand with the creamy, tangy sauce created by the roasted ingredients.
- Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter them generously over the top for a bright, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Choosing ripe, sweet cherry tomatoes guarantees maximum flavor in this dish.
- Whole block feta works best, as pre-crumbled versions won’t melt as smoothly.
- Fresh basil is essential for adding brightness and herbal notes to the creamy sauce.
- For a low-carb version, swap pasta with zucchini noodles or roasted spaghetti squash.
