BAKED FETA PASTA
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounce block Kryssos Feta Block
8 ounces pasta of choice
2 pints cherry tomatoes or small tomatoes
2 garlic cloves minced
¼ cup packed chopped fresh basil
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the cherry tomatoes in an oven-safe baking dish. Pour the olive oil on top, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined.
Place the Kryssos Feta block in the middle of the baking dish surrounded by the cherry tomatoes, and flip to coat with the olive oil and seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, until the cherry tomatoes burst, and the feta cheese melts.
While the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the pasta in a pot of salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the cooking liquid in case you'd like to toss it in.
Immediately add the garlic and basil leaves to the cooked tomatoes and feta and toss everything to combine.
Transfer the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to combine. Garnish with more fresh basil and serve warm.
