Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic smashed
- 12 leaves basil sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 8-ounce block feta cheese
- 16 ounces tortellini pasta
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated, to add before serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a 9" square baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes, garlic cloves, basil, salt and pepper and toss. Place the block of feta into the center of the tomato mixture and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is golden on top.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini pasta according to package instructions.
- Once cooked, drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add the cooked pasta to the baked tomatoes and feta and stir until completely combined. If it looks a little dry, stir in the reserved pasta water.
