Equipment
- 13x9 Casserole dish
- Spoon or spatula
- Small-medium pot for cooking the pasta
- Strainer or colander
- Knife and cutting board for cutting the red onion (or shallot)
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pasta of your choice I used rotini!
- Reserved pasta water I saved a 1/2 cup.
- 3 tbsp Olive oil divided
- 2 pints Cherry tomatoes approx. 20oz
- 1/2 Red onion, chopped (a shallot works too)
- 1 block Feta cheese
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste (I used 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°. Cook a 16oz box of pasta according to the package directions- but be sure to reserve some of the salty pasta water.
- Pour a tablespoon of the olive oil into the bottom of a large casserole dish and add the cherry tomatoes in on top. Scatter bits of the onion into the tomatoes, then wedge the feta into the middle of the casserole dish.
- Drizzle your tomatoes and feta with the remaining olive oil and the balsamic vinegar, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Bake your tomatoes and feta for 30-35 minutes or until the tomatoes are bursting and the feta is browned.
- Stir the roasted ingredients until a creamy sauce is formed in the casserole dish. Add in some reserved pasta water to adjust the texture of the sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta into the sauce, stir, and serve!
