- 7 ounce block Greek feta cheese
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Fresh basil leaves (optional garnish)
- 12 ounces small to medium sized pasta (or about 4 cups pasta)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and pull out a 9x13 baking dish.
- Fill the baking dish with cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves. Place the block of Greek feta cheese in the center of the dish.
- Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and onion powder in a bowl and whisk together. Pour over the entire dish and add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes directly on the block of feta cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes have completely cooked and the feta cheese has melted.
- While the dish is baking, cook pasta according to directions in salty water. Reserve ¾ cup of pasta water when draining.
- Once the dish is done in the oven, crush feta, tomatoes, and garlic cloves with a fork. Stir everything together and then stir in the pasta. Check on the consistency and taste, and add in whatever amounts of pasta water you might need to improve either.
- Top with fresh basil leaves (optional garnish) and then plate and serve.
