The Italian Kitchen: Baked Feta and Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes and Italian Sausage

I've seen this recipe around and thought I would finally try it. I, of course, made some changes. Next time, I would like to try the Boursin version. It was good a bit unexpected. It was a bit tangier than expected, I believe from the Feta.

The Ingredients

2 pints of cherry tomatoes

1 block Feta cheese

1/2 C olive oil

3 cloves of garlic

Salt 

Pepper

Pasta of choice

Ground Italian sausage

Oregano

Basil

Pizza party seasoning

The Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In baking dish layer the  cherry tomatoes and top with half of olive oil and seasonings. 

Add the Feta block in the middle of the baking dish and top with remainder of olive oil and seasonings.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the tomatoes break up and Feta melts. Mash to combine. I also used an immersion blender to really combine it well. 

While the Feta is cooking, cook your meat and pasta. Once the Feta is done, add the pasta and meat to the sauce. 

Garnish with parmesan, basil, or oregano. 

You could also add some veggies like broccoli or spinach if desired.
