This is the dish that went viral on instagram and tik tok. It looked so simple so when it was a cold rainy night I decided to make it. It was really easy to make and is definitely going to become one of my more used recipes when I'm out of creative ideas.
Ingredients:
2 pt. cherry or grape
tomatoes
1 shallot, quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
(optional)
1/2 c. extra virgin olive
oil, divided
Kosher salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
1 (8-oz.) block feta
3 sprigs thyme
10 oz. pasta (I recommend
penne or fussili)
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Grated parmesan cheese
2 Basil leaves, finely chopped
Directions:
1. Preheat
oven to 400°. In a large ovenproof skillet or medium baking dish, combine
tomatoes, shallot, garlic, and most of the olive oil. Season with salt and red
pepper flakes and toss to combine.
2. Place
feta into center of tomato mixture and drizzle top with remaining olive oil.
Scatter thyme over tomatoes. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until
tomatoes are bursting and feta is golden on top.
3. Meanwhile,
in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package
instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
4. To
skillet with tomatoes and feta, add cooked pasta, reserved pasta water, and
lemon zest (if using) to skillet and stir until completely combined.
Garnish with basil and parmesan cheese before serving.
