Description
Baked Feta Pasta is an easy, creamy one-pan recipe with roasted tomatoes, feta cheese, and bow tie pasta—perfect for cozy dinners or quick meals.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups grape tomatoes, washed and dried
- 1–8 oz brick of Feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 12 oz bow tie pasta, cooked, drained, and kept warm
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium-sized baking dish, scatter the grape tomatoes evenly.
Step 2: Add the Feta
Place the whole brick of feta cheese in the center of the dish, nestled among the tomatoes.
Step 3: Season
Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and cheese. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and salt over everything. Then, drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil directly on the feta cheese.
Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes. The tomatoes should burst, and the feta should appear soft and slightly golden.
Step 5: Mix the Sauce
Remove the dish from the oven. Using a spoon, stir and mash the feta and roasted tomatoes together until you get a creamy sauce.
Step 6: Finish the Dish
Stir in the chopped fresh basil. Then, add the cooked, warm bow tie pasta and mix thoroughly to coat all the pasta with the sauce.
Step 7: Serve
Serve hot, garnished with extra basil if desired.
Notes
Do not skip the olive oil; it’s essential for the rich texture.
Use good-quality feta for best flavor—block-style, not crumbled.
