To make the viral pasta recipe at home, all you need are the vital ingredients: pasta, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, feta, garlic, and basil.
You can also add some salt and red pepper flakes for more flavour.
MacKenzie Smith, cookbook author and owner of the Grilled Cheese Social food blog, has shared her tips on how to make the popular pasta dish.
Firstly, preheat your oven to 200 degrees, and combine your cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes into a large baking dish.
Stick your block of feta right in the middle of the dish and add another glug of olive oil and some red pepper.
Put the entire dish straight into the oven, letting it bake for half an hour.
Crank the oven up to 230 degrees after the 30 minutes are up, and leave the dish in for another 10 minutes.
While the sauce is cooking, chop up the garlic and the basil and, when it’s ready, add the, to the dish.
Stir the mixture before adding pasta to the dish, and then stir again.
Sprinkle basil on the top, and your easy meal is ready to be served.
