Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200oC/180oC Fan. Place the baby plum tomatoes into a baking dish and add feta ** (whole). Drizzle with **olive oil, chilli flakes, chopped garlic, and season generously with pepper, no salt as the feta is salty enough, and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 2

For the final 10 minutes of cooking, boil the pasta in salted water until just tender.

Step 3

Remove the feta from the oven, add the torn basil leaves, tip in the cooked pasta and toss well until you create a silky sauce. Serve immediately. It's as simple as that!
