Effortless Baked Feta Pasta (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the dish

01 - 5 tbsp olive oil, high quality
02 - 2 1/2 cups freshly rinsed grape tomatoes
03 - 1/4 cup roughly torn fresh basil
04 - 1 tsp aromatic Italian seasoning
05 - 12 oz farfalle (bow tie pasta)
06 - 1/2 tsp salt
07 - One 8 oz block of feta cheese, creamy texture

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C) and let it get hot.
02 - Put the grape tomatoes in a medium baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
03 - Place the feta block in the middle of the dish, surrounded by the tomatoes.
04 - Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the cheese and tomatoes, making sure they're coated all around.
05 - Sprinkle your salt and Italian seasoning over the cheese and tomatoes for flavor.
06 - Drizzle the last 2 tablespoons of olive oil right over the feta block.
07 - Slide the dish into the hot oven for 30-35 minutes, until the cheese softens and tomatoes are juicy and bursting.
08 - Pull it out of the oven and stir everything—melted cheese, tomatoes, and juices—until it forms a smooth mixture. Add fresh basil now.
09 - Toss in the cooked bow tie pasta while it's hot. Stir it all together until pasta is covered in the creamy sauce. Serve right away!

# Notes:

01 - This dish blew up on TikTok for a reason! It's simple and tastes amazing.
02 - For the best experience, pick a whole block of feta that comes packed in brine—it makes a big difference!
03 - Want a little extra kick? Throw in some garlic or a dash of red pepper flakes.
