Cheesy Tomato Pasta Bake
This feta tomato bake is all the rage in the food blogging world right now.
Introduction
This feta tomato bake is all the rage in the food blogging world right now. I obviously had to give it a go but with a little twist! I thought I would mellow out the strong flavour of the feta by adding ricotta cheese – turned out great.
The final touch is a generous scoop of pesto. So good!
Ingredients
- approx 2 cups of cherry tomoatoes
- 1/2 cup – 1 cup of feta cheese
- 3-4 tbsp of ricotta cheese
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- fresh thyme
- fresh basil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp pesto
✖️Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
✖️In a casserole dish, add tomatoes. Drizzle olive oil, add salt and pepper – mix together. Add in the brick of feta cheese, approx 1/2 cup as well as the ricotta cheese throughout the tomatoes – the more the better!
✖️Cut the top off the garlic head off and drizzle with olive oil – cover with tin foil and add that to your casserole dish. Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the mixture
✖️Bake for 45 mins
✖️While tomatoes are baking, cook up your pasta – anything goes!
✖️As soon as the tomato mixture comes out of the oven, stir it up – mixing together all the cheesy tomato goodness. Squeeze out the roasted garlic – you can mash it with the back of a spoon. Add your pasta along and stir in 2-3 tbsps pesto. Give it a taste and possibly season with more salt and pepper
Serve up with fresh basil – delicious! Another great addition would be adding slices of kalamata olives – yum!!!
Enjoy xo
