Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2

Arrange tomatoes and feta

Place cherry tomatoes in a baking dish. Add the block of feta in the centre. Drizzle with olive oil.

Bake the mixture

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is golden.

5

Cook the pasta

While the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.

Pro tip: Use salted water for cooking pasta to enhance flavour.

6

Combine pasta and sauce

Remove the baking dish from the oven. Stir the feta and tomatoes together to form a sauce. Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water, tossing to coat.

Pro tip: Use the pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency.
