Baked Feta Pasta: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe You Must Try

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 12 ounces pasta (penne or fusilli works well)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: In a large baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the tomatoes are well coated.
  3. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes burst and the feta cheese is golden and creamy.
  4. Cook the Pasta: While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. Combine: Once the feta and tomatoes are done baking, remove the dish from the oven. Use a fork to mash the feta and mix it with the burst tomatoes, creating a creamy sauce.
  6. Mix with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional olive oil if desired. Serve warm.
