Ingredients
Serves 4- ½ teaspoon dried oregano ((or 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano))
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, thyme, or parsley, (for garnish)
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves, (minced (about 3 teaspoons))
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta ((such as penne, rotini, or spaghetti))
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, (to taste)
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the tomatoes and garlic in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Step 2
Nestle the block of feta in the center of the dish. Bake uncovered until the tomatoes burst and the cheese is soft, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Step 4
Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the tomatoes and feta with a spoon or fork until creamy.
- Step 5
Add the cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Toss until well coated. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Stir in the fresh herbs and serve immediately.
