Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 200C. Place the tomatoes into the baking dish then drizzle the olive oil over them. Next sprinkle all of the spices over the tomatoes and give them a good stir. Stir until they’re well coated with the spices. Make a well in the center to put the block of feta cheese. Place the garlic clove in the dish between some tomatoes.
Put the baking dish in the center of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the cheese has softened and the tomatoes burst. While that’s in the oven, cook the pasta according to the package ingredients. You can save some of the boiling water to mix into the pasta for a creamier sauce, if desired.
Once the tomatoes and cheese are ready, carefully remove from the oven. Use a wide spoon to crush the garlic and tomatoes, then mix into the cheese. Continue to mix until everything is well combined. At this time you can taste the sauce and if desired you can add some salt — I didn't use any. Taste before adding.
Mix the cooked and drained pasta noodles into the cheese mixture. Toss until everything is well combined. At this time if you’ve saved some of the boiling water you can also mix it into the dish and until everything is well combined.
Serve with some chopped fresh basil if desired. |

Notes: This may be the easiest pasta dish of all time. But it does show how little but good quality ingredients that go together can go a longggg way. Cheese, tomatoes and great pasta, what more could you want!!! (Don't you dare say sour cream)
