Description

This delicious and easy pasta recipe with baked feta and tomatoes takes very little effort and produces a wonderfully creamy pasta sauce.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 medium onion, diced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese
1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
2 Place cherry tomatoes, onion, and garlic in the prepared dish. Drizzle olive oil over top and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Set feta block in the center of the dish and turn over to coat with olive oil and spices.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until tomatoes soften and feta is starting to brown, about 35 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
5 Remove casserole dish from the oven and stir in cream, basil, and pasta. Keep stirring until pasta and feta are well mixed with the sauce. Serve immediately.
