How to Make Baked Feta Pasta

Whether you are a college student looking for an easy, one pan meal or a parent looking to feed a family, this baked feta pasta is the easiest, tastiest choice for you! With just a couple simple ingredients, this dish is guaranteed to "wow" your taste buds!

Ingredients:

• 16 oz pasta
• 8 oz block of feta cheese
• 20 oz cherry tomatoes
• 5 cloves of garlic
• Basil
• Olive oil
• Sea salt
• Oregano
• Red pepper flakes (optional)

Collect all your ingredients and make sure to wash the tomatoes and basil to ensure freshness.

Preheat the oven to 400°

In a large baking dish, place the block of feta cheese in the middle. Around the block, place cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, and basil to fill up the rest of the dish. Drizzle olive oil around the dish to coat the ingredients. After, sprinkle salt and oregano on top.

Meanwhile, add water to a large pot and let it boil. Then add in pasta along with a few pinches of salt. Once the pasta is done cooking, drain the water but set 1 cup of pasta water aside.

Once the oven is preheated, insert the baking dish and bake for 25 mins, or until tomatoes turn slightly brown.

Once the dish is finished baking, take it out of the oven. Use a large spoon to smash the tomatoes, garlic, oil, and feta together. If the mixture is too thick, add tablespoons of pasta water until desired consistency.

Once the mixture is ready, add cooked pasta to the baking dish and mix together. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional) to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
