Ingredients
-
225g cavatappi pasta (or pasta of your choice)
-
500g cherry tomatoes
-
225g block lactose-free feta cheese
-
Splash of Extra virgin olive oil
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
25g fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for serving)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C) or 400°F.
Place the cherry tomatoes in an oven-safe baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together to coat the tomatoes evenly.
Place the block of lactose-free feta cheese in the center of the dish, surrounded by the tomatoes. Flip the feta a couple of times to coat it in the olive oil and seasonings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta cheese is melted.
While the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a pot of salted water until al dente. Reserve 120ml of the cooking liquid, then drain the pasta.
Once the tomatoes and feta are done, add the minced garlic and chopped basil to the baking dish, and toss everything together to combine.
Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss everything together, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if you’d like to adjust the consistency.
Garnish with extra fresh basil and serve warm.
