250 g (9 oz) pasta (penne or rigatoni)

200 g (7 oz) feta cheese (block, not crumbled)

250 g (9 oz) cherry tomatoes

3–4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tsp dried oregano

1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Place the block of feta cheese in the center of a baking dish. Arrange cherry tomatoes around it.

Drizzle everything generously with olive oil, sprinkle garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes if using.

Place in the oven for 25–30 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta softens and turns golden.

Cook the pasta: Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water.

Mix it all together: Remove the baking dish from the oven. Using a fork, mash the feta and tomatoes until creamy. Add the cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water, mixing until well combined.

Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

Tip: For extra flavor, add a handful of baby spinach or a few olives before mixing.
