Ingredients
- 300 g pasta various shapes
- 1 feta cheese 200 g block
- 500 g cherry plum tomato
- 1 red bell pepper, diced (2cm)
- 4 garlic sliced, large cloves
- 1 capers heaped tablespoon
- 1 tsp mixed Italian herbs dried
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt flakes and freshly ground
- black pepper flakes and freshly ground
- chili garlic flakes good grinding
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Place Feta in centre of large oven-proof dish.
- Surround Feta with cherry plum tomatoes, diced red pepper, sliced garlic, capers, mixed Italian herbs, sea salt flakes, freshly ground pepper and finish off by drizzling (including the Feta) with 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
- Give the tomato mixture a good mix with a spoon and then make sure that the Feta is fully exposed again.
- Place in oven for 40 minutes or until tomatoes have burst and gone squishy.
- Meanwhile cook pasta shapes according to their instructions (to coincide with the finish time of the Feta bake).
- Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining (you may or may not need this to thin down the sauce).
- Once Feta bake has finished cooking, break the Feta up with a large spoon and mix into the tomato mixture (you can add a little of the pasta water now if you think it’s needed). So far, I haven’t needed it.
- Add the pasta shapes to the Feta and tomatoes and mix thoroughly.
- Finish off with a good grinding of chilli and garlic flakes.
- Serve immediately in bowls with garlic bread and or a green salad.
