  • olive oil
  • finely minced garlic
Drizzle plenty of olive oil into a baking pan and mix in a lot of finely minced garlic.
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
Add two pints of cherry tomatoes and toss to coat; season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • 10 oz feta
  • balsamic vinegar
  • dry oregano
  • red chili flakes
Make a space in the centre and add 10 oz creamy feta; drizzle with balsamic vinegar, sprinkle dry oregano and red chili flakes, and finish with a big drizzle of olive oil.
Bake in the centre of a 450 degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, until the tomatoes are very soft and the cheese browned.
  • cavatappi
  • salt
Seven or eight minutes before it is done, cook the pasta in salted water per the package; reserve about half a cup of pasta water and drain.
  • 2–3 tbsp pasta water
  • basil
Smash and stir the tomatoes and feta into a sauce with a fork; add sliced basil, two or three tablespoons of pasta water and the hot pasta; mix until coated, adding more pasta water as needed. Taste for salt and serve with more basil.
