Ingredients

  • 1 lb pasta (bronze cut rigatoni works well)
  • 1 8 oz block feta (high fat greek or dutch tastes better)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes
  • 3-5 cloves garlic, sliced thin
  • bunch of fresh basil
  • salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. Drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pyrex baking dish. Add the block of feta in the center, cherry tomatoes all around. Sprinkle the garlic over the top and drizzle with the rest of the olive oil. Add fresh ground black pepper.
  3. Bake in the oven for 20-45 minutes, until the cheese and tomatoes are starting to brown on the top.
  4. Cook pasta per package directions.
  5. Add all the baked ingredients to the pasta and mix well. Add some chopped fresh basil leaves and stir together. The pasta should be creamy and the tomatoes should break down.
