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
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
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.
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.
