Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Put the cherry tomatoes in an oven-safe baking dish. Pour the olive oil over them, season with the 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and toss well.
3. Place the 8 oz 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.
4. Bake for 35 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta has melted.
5. While the tomatoes and feta bake, cook the cavatappi in salted water following the package instructions until al dente. Drain, keeping 1/2 cup of the cooking water aside.
6. Add the minced garlic and the 1/4 cup chopped basil to the baked tomatoes and feta and toss together.
7. Transfer the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to combine. Top with extra basil and serve warm.
