Baked Feta Pasta: 9 Amazing Steps to Pure Joy

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

In a baking dish, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the tomatoes.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and the feta is soft and lightly golden.

Remove the dish from the oven. Use a fork to mash the feta into the roasted tomatoes and garlic to create a creamy sauce.

Add the cooked pasta to the dish and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
