Baked Tomato Feta Pasta
It’s pasta time!
Servings: 4
Prep. time: 5 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons Sciabica olive oil (sold at our fruit stand)
4 cups SONS cherry tomatoes
6 cloves SONS garlic whole, peeled
8 ounces feta cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups fresh baby spinach
½ pound Sciabica pasta (sold at our fruit stand)
½ to 1 cup reserved pasta water
Pinch of salt & pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Add the Sciabica olive oil to a 9-inch by 13-inch (or similar size) baking dish, along with the SONS cherry tomatoes, SONS garlic, salt and pepper.
Add the feta cheese into the middle of the baking dish and drizzle the top with a little extra olive oil. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over everything and bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes and feta are soft and begin to brown slightly.
While the feta and tomatoes bake, boil a large pot of salted water (add about 2 teaspoons of salt to the water) and cook the pasta in the water.
Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.
When the feta and tomatoes are finished baking, break up the cheese and tomatoes with a spoon, making a creamy sauce. Add the hot pasta to the baking dish along with the fresh spinach. Add about 1/2 cup of the pasta water and toss everything together well.
Add a little more pasta water if necessary and toss again.
ENJOY!.
