Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta of choice (penne or fusilli)
  • 1 block feta cheese, about 8 oz
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup pesto sauce, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin recommended
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground to taste

  • In a large baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the block of feta cheese in the center of the dish.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, until the tomatoes are blistered and the feta is golden.

  • Once baked, remove the dish and stir everything together, breaking up the feta cheese.
  • Mix in the cooked pasta and pesto until well combined.
  • Serve warm, garnished with additional pesto if desired.
