Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place cherry tomatoes in a baking dish with olive oil, garlic, pepper, and chili flakes.
  2. Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the tomatoes and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes until tomatoes burst and feta softens.
  4. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
