A quick and easy creamy baked feta pasta dip featuring roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic, and a luscious feta sauce, perfect for snacks, potlucks, or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (7 oz) block of feta cheese
  • 250g (9 oz) cherry tomatoes
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 200g (7 oz) pasta of choice (penne or fusilli recommended)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the block of feta cheese in the center of your oven-safe baking dish.
  3. Scatter the cherry tomatoes and whole garlic cloves evenly around the feta.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta, tomatoes, and garlic.
  5. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until tomatoes burst and caramelize and feta is golden and creamy.
  7. While baking, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and reserve some pasta water.
  8. Once baked, mash and mix the feta, tomatoes, and garlic together in the baking dish until creamy with some chunks.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
  10. Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter on top. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  11. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

Use block feta for best melting results; crumbled feta tends to dry out. Reserve pasta water to loosen sauce and help it cling to pasta. Avoid overbaking feta to prevent drying out. Gluten-free pasta can be used as a substitute. Add red pepper flakes or jalapeños for spice. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated and reheat gently.
