Baked Feta Pasta (Uunifetapasta)
Jenni Häyrinen
Ingredients
- 1/2 box of pasta cooked according to package directions
1 block of feta cheese
1 package of grape or cherry tomatoes
1/2 red chili pepper
Olive oil
Salt and pepper (to taste)
4 cloves of garlic (optional)
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees (gas mark 6). While the oven is preheating, start cooking the pasta.
- Place the block of feta in the middle of an oven-safe dish (I used my favourite dutch oven [1]) and dump the tomatoes in around it.
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper over the cheese and tomatoes, and gently toss the tomatoes to coat.
- Put the cheese and tomatoes in the oven for 30 minutes. While it's in the oven, remove pasta from the stove. Drain and set aside.
- After 30 minutes, turn the broiler on high for about 10 minutes to get that browned look on the melted cheese.
- Remove cheese and tomatoes from the oven, and mix it all together.
- Add the pasta and mix. Then garnish with fresh basil and or crushed red pepper and enjoy!
