Print Recipe

A quick and easy pasta dish made with roasted cherry tomatoes and feta cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pints sweet cherry tomatoes, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 block (7 oz) feta cheese (queso fresco also works)
  • Olive oil
  • 2–3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Pinch of oregano
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 8 oz dry pasta (short shapes like rotini, macaroni, or penne)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Add cherry tomatoes to a 9-inch square baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and mix with garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  3. Nestle the block of feta in the center, drizzle with more olive oil, and bake for about 35 minutes, until tomatoes are wrinkled and cheese is browning.
  4. While the dish is baking, cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and save about a cup of pasta water.
  5. Squish the tomatoes and feta with a spoon, mix them together, and stir in the drained pasta, adding pasta water as needed.
  6. Serve hot with additional fresh basil on top.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
