- Feta cheese8 oz
- Extra virgin olive oil½ cups
- Salt¼ tsp
- Black pepper¼ tsp
- Garlic2
- Basil¼ cups

- Put the cherry tomatoes in an ovenproof baking dish, pour the olive oil over them, season with salt and pepper and toss well.
- Place the block of feta in the middle of the dish, surrounded by the tomatoes, and turn it a couple of times so it is coated in oil and seasoning.
- Bake for 35 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta has melted.
- While the tomatoes bake, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain, keeping ½ cup of the cooking water.
- Stir the minced garlic and chopped basil leaves into the hot tomatoes and feta right away.
- Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to combine, adding some of the reserved cooking water if you like.
- Garnish with extra basil and serve warm.
