Sometimes our recipe inspirations come from the unlikeliest of sources! This quick and easy Tomato Feta Pasta dish has recently been showcased in countless Tik Tok and Instagram videos, and it looked just too good to be true. We decided to test this recipe out for ourselves and I am happy to report, we definitely were not disappointed. This dish easy enough for anyone to make has minimal prep time, uses simple ingredients that can be found in any grocery store, and the rich flavor is sure to satisfy even the fussiest of taste buds. We recommend giving this hearty pasta dish a try.

Ingredients:

2 packages of cherry or grape tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, smashed (optional)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Chilli powder
1 block feta (8 oz)
3 sprigs thyme or oregano
10 oz. pasta
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Fresh Basil Leaves

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large ovenproof skillet or medium baking dish, combine tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and chili powder and toss to combine with thyme or oregano.

2. Place feta into the center of the tomato mixture and drizzle the top with the remaining olive oil. Add crushed or minced garlic on top of the feta. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tomatoes are bursting and the feta is golden on top.

3. Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.

4. Add the cooked pasta to the tomato and feta dish. Add the reserved pasta water and lemon zest (if using) to the skillet and stir until completely combined. Garnish with basil before serving.
