SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATOES GARLIC AND FETA CHEESE



Spaghetti with Tomatoes Garlic and Feta Cheese image

A great summer pasta dish. The Feta cheese is a wonderful match for the tomatoes, and the heat of the spaghetti and garlic oil makes the cheese soft. This is a recipe you can change to your own likes. Try using Mozzarella instead of Feta, or using fresh basil, or fresh herbs instead of parsley.

ONE-PAN FETA PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES



One-Pan Feta Pasta With Cherry Tomatoes image

In 2018, the Finnish blogger Jenni Hayrinen posted a recipe for baked feta pasta. The dish became a full-on TikTok sensation, popular to the point that supermarkets were selling out of feta. This version streamlines her recipe. Instead of cooking the pasta separately, it's added to the casserole dish with the baked feta and tomatoes, turning it into a cozy one-pan meal. (Also note that you'll need an electric kettle to boil the water. So maybe it's more like a one-and-a-half-pan meal.) Don't think of this as a pasta dish in an Italian, al-dente sense. It's more like a creamy casserole along the lines of mac and cheese. In any case, it's comforting and supremely easy.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pints cherry tomatoes
5 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
5 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
8 ounces feta
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
12 ounces short pasta, such as farfalle, campanelle, rotini or cavatappi
3 cups boiling water
1 cup torn basil leaves
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow 2-quart casserole or gratin dish, or an 11-by-7-inch 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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, slightly acidic flavor.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much stronger flavor than dried garlic, so it's worth taking the time to mince it yourself. If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause them to steam instead of sautéing, and they won't develop the same flavor.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before you add the feta cheese. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the tomatoes are still warm and juicy. You can garnish it with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti with tomatoes, garlic, and feta cheese is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and it's packed with flavor. The tomatoes and garlic are sautéed until they're soft and caramelized, and the feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor. Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
