• 🧀 200g block of feta cheese
• 🍅 2 cups cherry tomatoes

👩‍🍳🔥How to make 🍝 Baked Feta Pasta?

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This makes sure everything cooks evenly.

Step 2:
Take an oven-safe baking dish. Add the cherry tomatoes 🍅 all around.

Step 3:
Place the block of feta cheese 🧀 right in the center of the dish.

Step 4:
Drizzle olive oil 🫒 over the tomatoes and feta. Sprinkle garlic 🧄, oregano 🌿, black pepper ⚫, and a little salt 🧂.

Step 5:
Put the dish in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. The tomatoes should burst, and the feta should become soft and slightly golden 😍

Step 6:
While it’s baking, boil water in a large pot. Add salt, then cook the pasta 🍝 according to package instructions until soft.

Step 7:
Drain the pasta and keep a little bit of pasta water (this helps the sauce later 😉).

Step 8:
Take the baking dish out of the oven (be careful—it’s hot! 🔥). Use a fork to mash the feta and tomatoes together until creamy.

Step 9:
Add the cooked pasta into the baking dish and mix everything well until coated in sauce.

Step 10:
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water 💧 and mix again.

Step 11:
Top with fresh basil 🌱 and serve warm. Enjoy your creamy masterpiece 🤤✨
