Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, shallot, garlic, and most of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
Place the block of feta in the center of the dish and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes and add thyme sprigs.
Bake for 35 minutes, until tomatoes burst and feta is golden on top.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
Remove thyme sprigs from the baking dish. Stir the feta and tomatoes together to create a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a bit at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
Top with lemon zest (if using) and fresh basil before serving.
