Ingredients
- 1 lb grape tomatoes
- 1 4oz can diced pimentos drained
- 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
- 8 oz block feta
- 14 oz short pasta shapes
- small bunch basil shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bottom of a baking dish, mix the tomatoes, pimentos, olive oil, bashed garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Place the feta in the middle of the dish, and turn it over so the top is coated with oil. Bake for 40 minutes until the cheese is soft and golden.
- Towards the end of the cooking time, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling, salted water per the package instructions.
- Drain the pasta, but set aside a cup of pasta cooking water. Return the pasta to the pan before stirring in the cooked tomato feta mixture along with the shredded basil until the pasta is coated in a creaming sauce, adding the pasta cooking water to thin it out if necessary. Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed.
