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.
