Ingredients

  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • 8 ounce block feta cheese
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 8 ounces gluten-free pasta
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped, or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Transfer the cherry tomatoes to a 9-inch or larger casserole dish, and toss them in a couple tablespoons of the avocado oil. Stir in the dried oregano and minced garlic.
  • Place the block of feta cheese on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle everything with sea salt and pepper. Pour the rest of the avocado oil over everything (note: be sure to pour it over the feta to ensure the feta doesn’t burn while baking).
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very juicy and have burst open.
  • While the tomatoes and feta are baking, cook the pasta noodles. Once cooked, strain them and set aside until ready to use.
  • Remove the tomatoes and feta from the oven and use a fork or spoon to mash and stir the feta and tomatoes together, forming a chunky sauce.
  • Pour the cooked pasta noodles into the casserole dish with the sauce, along with the fresh basil and pesto sauce. Stir everything together until well-combined. Taste the pasta for flavor and add more sea salt and/or pepper to taste.
  • Serve and enjoy!
