Step-by-Step Instructions: 🍝
1. PREP TOMATOES & FETA 🍅
In a baking dish, add cherry tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Place the block of feta cheese right in the middle of the dish and flip it once so it's coated in oil.
2. BAKE UNTIL MELTY 🔥
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 35 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the feta turns soft and golden on top.
3. MASH & MIX PASTA 🍝
While baking, boil your pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Remove the baking dish from the oven and immediately mash the melted feta and burst tomatoes together using a fork until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
4. GARNISH & SERVE ✨
Add cooked pasta and fresh basil to the creamy sauce. Stir well (add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed). Garnish with extra basil and black pepper, and serve hot! 😋🧀
