I think you will enjoy cooking baked feta pasta! Bonus, you will have dinner ready in about an hour. It uses fresh ingredients, vegetables, pasta (pantry staple), and melty cheesy goodness. Let’s Cook This!

Ingredients

• 2 cups ripe cherry tomatoes (I like using the bigger ones!)
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil
• 3 cloves garlic (peeled and crushed)
• 8 ounces of Feta Cheese crumbled
• Parmesan cheese shredded
• 1 tsp. Italian spices

2. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil onto the cherry tomatoes.

4. Peel the garlic cloves and then crush them. Add them to the dish and stir.

Notes

• Yes you can use a block of feta cheese vs. crumbles if you like.
• Why use crumbles? They will melt easier (taking less time) and incorporate into the pasta well.
• No you don't need to pre-coat the baking dish as you are stirring around the extra virgin olive oil all around when you coat the cherry tomatoes.
• How much olive oil do you use? About 1/4- 1/2 cup.
• How much Parmesan cheese? I basically used it as a garnish cheese. Just sprinkle a little or as much as you'd like.
