ONE-PAN FETA PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES



One-Pan Feta Pasta With Cherry Tomatoes image

In 2018, the Finnish blogger Jenni Hayrinen posted a recipe for baked feta pasta. The dish became a full-on TikTok sensation, popular to the point that supermarkets were selling out of feta. This version streamlines her recipe. Instead of cooking the pasta separately, it's added to the casserole dish with the baked feta and tomatoes, turning it into a cozy one-pan meal. (Also note that you'll need an electric kettle to boil the water. So maybe it's more like a one-and-a-half-pan meal.) Don't think of this as a pasta dish in an Italian, al-dente sense. It's more like a creamy casserole along the lines of mac and cheese. In any case, it's comforting and supremely easy.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pints cherry tomatoes
5 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
5 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
8 ounces feta
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
12 ounces short pasta, such as farfalle, campanelle, rotini or cavatappi
3 cups boiling water
1 cup torn basil leaves
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow 2-quart casserole or gratin dish, or an 11-by-7-inch baking dish, combine tomatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with 1/4 cup of the olive oil to coat. Place the feta in the middle of the dish, and top with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the black pepper and red-pepper flakes over everything. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the garlic has softened and the tomatoes have burst their skins.
  • Add the pasta to the pan in an even layer and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour the boiling water on top. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, carefully submerge pasta. Cover tightly with foil and bake until pasta is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Remove from oven and let the pasta stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the excess liquid.
  • Stir in basil until everything is well incorporated, and the tomatoes and cheese create a creamy sauce. When serving, top with more black pepper, oil and flaky sea salt.

This is a very simple but tasty and light recipe I just put together because I had tons of cherry tomatoes in the kitchen, my mother and I had it for supper and thought it was worth sharing, hope you like it too! We had it on its own, but it could be served on a bed of greens, as a side dish for grilled meat or fish, or even used as a pasta sauce...just use your fantasy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful cherry tomatoes for the best taste.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese that is not too salty.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tomatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the dish warm or at room temperature. It can also be served chilled.

Conclusion:

Cherry tomato and feta cheese is a classic combination that is always a winner. This recipe is a simple but delicious way to enjoy these two ingredients. The tomatoes are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized, while the feta cheese melts and becomes gooey. The combination of flavors and textures is irresistible. This dish is perfect for a summer party or potluck, or as a side dish for grilled chicken or fish. It is also a great way to use up leftover cherry tomatoes.
