→ For the dish
01 -
2 ½ cups juicy grape tomatoes, washed and dried
02 -
1 brick (8 oz) of creamy Feta cheese
03 -
1 teaspoon fragrant Italian seasoning
04 -
½ teaspoon salt
05 -
5 tablespoons good quality olive oil
06 -
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
07 -
12 oz bow tie pasta (farfalle)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Scatter the grape tomatoes in a medium-sized baking dish, creating a single layer.
03 -
Place the block of Feta cheese right in the center of the tomatoes.
04 -
Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and cheese, making sure to coat them well.
05 -
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and salt evenly over both the cheese and tomatoes.
06 -
Finish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil directly over the Feta cheese.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until you see the tomatoes burst open and the cheese become soft and slightly golden.
08 -
Take the dish out of the oven and immediately stir the melted cheese and burst tomatoes until they form a creamy sauce. Toss in the fresh chopped basil.
09 -
Add the hot, cooked bow tie pasta to the baking dish and mix everything thoroughly until the pasta is well coated with the creamy tomato-feta sauce. Serve while it's still warm and gooey.
