- Smash and peel the garlic, scatter over the tomatoes, then drizzle the entire dish with olive oil. Season with red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt and black pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta is golden and soft.
- Meanwhile, cook the penne pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- Mash the feta and tomatoes together with a fork to form a creamy sauce. Add the pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water and toss to coat. Tear in the fresh basil before serving.
Cook’s notes
Use a block of feta, not crumbled, so it softens into a creamy sauce instead of drying out. Spinach or rocket can be stirred in with the pasta for extra greens. The pasta water helps the sauce coat the penne, so add it a splash at a time.
