Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta - cooked according to package directions (1 cup pasta water reserved)
  • 8 oz. Feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, whole
  • 4 - 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp. dried basil, to taste
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp. dried oregano, to taste
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
  • sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Prepare 16 ounces of pasta (al dente) according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water.

  3. In a 9x13" pan, place all ingredients - except the fresh basil. Toss lightly to coat everything with olive oil and distribute the herbs and seasoning.

  4. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 - 30 minutes, until everything is roasted to your liking.

  5. Remove pan from oven and stir to completely combine the roasted ingredients. Taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. Add the cooked pasta, and stir well to combine. Add a little pasta water, if desired, to loosen up the mixture. Garnish with lots of fresh basil, and enjoy immediately!
