Instrucciones

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a 9 x 13 casserole dish, toss tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and chili flakes. Nestle the block of feta in the tomatoes.

Bake 35 minutes or until feta is soft and the tomatoes are soft and splitting. Broil 2-3 minutes.

Meanwhile, while the tomatoes are baking, cook pasta al dente in salted water. Drain, but be sure to reserve at least 1 cup of water.

Stir the tomatoes and feta in the baking dish.

Mix in pasta, adding enough pasta water to make a creamy sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in fresh basil, garnish with optional parsley or basil, and serve.
