Baked Feta Pasta

To prepare baked feta pasta, start by carefully washing the cherry tomatoes. Dry them thoroughly and place in a fairly large ovenproof dish.

Clean and roughly slice the shallot. Add the shallot, thyme and the lightly crushed garlic cloves to the tomatoes.

Season with plenty of extra virgin olive oil and arrange the block of feta in the centre.

Season with salt and pepper and bake at 180 ° C for about 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are cooked and soft.

Meanwhile, boil the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water and drain when al dente. With a spoon, mix the tomatoes and feta cheese well, squeezing them gently.

Add the pasta to the sauce. Add the grated lemon zest and the coarsely chopped basil leaves.

Mix well and serve.
