Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, washed and dried
- 1 (8 oz) brick of Feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 12 oz bow tie pasta, cooked, drained, and kept warm
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Add the grape tomatoes to a medium-sized baking dish.
- Place the Feta cheese in the center of the tomatoes.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and Feta cheese.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and salt over the cheese and tomatoes.
- Drizzle 2 more tablespoons of olive oil over the Feta.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes burst and the Feta cheese softens.

- Mix in the cooked pasta until everything is well incorporated. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can use any type of pasta for this dish, but bow tie (farfalle) works well due to its shape and texture.
- For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or a spoonful of ricotta cheese when mixing the pasta.
- If you want a bit of crunch, sprinkle some toasted breadcrumbs on top before serving.
