INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pt. cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

  • 1 shallot, finely diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt

  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 (8-oz.) block feta, crumbled

  • 2 tsp dried basil (or 3-4 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced)

  • 10 oz. quick-cooking pasta (such as angel hair or thin spaghetti)

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh basil, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: In a large ovenproof skillet, combine the halved tomatoes, diced shallot, minced garlic, and crumbled feta. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.

STEP 2: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened, and the feta is melted and golden on top.

STEP 3: While the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the quick-cooking pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

STEP 4: Once the tomato and feta mixture is done baking, remove it from the oven and stir in the cooked pasta, dried basil (or fresh basil), lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a splash of olive oil or pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

STEP 5: Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious one-pan tomato and basil pasta in under 30 minutes.
