    Title: One-Pan Feta Pasta w/Cherry Tomatoes
    Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies, Pasta
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 pt Cherry tomatoes
    5 cl Garlic; peeled, left whole
    5 Thyme sprigs
    2 Rosemary sprigs
    1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 c Cup extra-virgin olive oil;
    - more to serve
    8 oz Feta
    1/2 ts Black pepper; more to serve
    pn Red-pepper flakes
    12 oz Short pasta; such as
    - farfalle, campanelle,
    - rotini or cavatappi
    3 c Boiling water
    1 c Torn basil leaves
    Flaky sea salt; to serve

    Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

    In a shallow 2 quart casserole or gratin dish, or an
    11" X 7" 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.
