Feta + Garden Tomato Pasta Bake

Recipe by Kait

This Feta + Garden Tomato Pasta Bake is creamy, cozy, and bursting with fresh flavor. Juicy tomatoes and tangy feta roast together to create a luscious sauce that clings perfectly to pasta. An easy, one-pan dinner that feels special but comes together with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes (or 4-5 medium garden tomatoes, chopped)
  • 1 block (8 oz) feta cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 10 ounces pasta (penne, rotini, or shells)
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
  • Fresh basil, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place feta in the center of a baking dish. Surround with tomatoes.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until tomatoes burst and feta is golden.
  5. While baking, cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
  6. Remove dish from oven. Smash tomatoes and feta with a spoon until creamy.
  7. Toss in cooked pasta, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce is silky.
  8. Top with fresh basil and extra black pepper. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Stir in spinach, kale, or arugula for extra greens.
  • Swap feta for goat cheese if preferred.
  • Great with grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted veggies for more protein.
