Ingredients

200g feta
500g sweet cherry tomatoes
1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
1 tbsp dried mixed herbs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp dry white wine (optional)
400g dried pasta of choice, such as fusilli
1 small bunch fresh basil, roughly chopped
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Method

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 200C (180°C fan / Gas Mark 6).

STEP 2

Place the feta in the center of a large baking dish. Arrange the cherry tomatoes around it. Sprinkle over the garlic and mixed herbs, then drizzle with olive oil and white wine (if using). Season generously with salt and pepper.

STEP 3

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the feta is soft and the tomatoes are blistered and beginning to caramelise.

STEP 4

While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 100ml of the pasta water.

STEP 5

Remove the baking dish from the oven. Use a fork to crush the tomatoes, then stir them into the baked feta. Add the reserved pasta water and stir until a thick, creamy sauce forms.
