Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the feta block in the center of an 8x11-inch baking dish. Arrange the sliced onion and unpeeled garlic cloves around the feta. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and onion, then season with black pepper.
2. Bake for 30 minutes, until the onion is soft and the feta is melting and golden at the edges.
3. While the feta bakes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini until al dente, reserving 1 ½ cups of the pasta water before draining.
4. Take the dish out of the oven and remove the garlic cloves to cool slightly. Scatter the frozen peas and chopped basil over the hot feta mixture and leave for 2–3 minutes, until the peas soften.
5. Peel the garlic and return it to the dish with 1 cup of the reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth and creamy with an immersion blender, adding more pasta water to loosen as needed. A countertop blender can be used instead if needed.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the dish and toss until evenly coated in the sauce.
