      Title: Baked Feta Pasta
 Categories: Vegetables, Cheese, Pasta, Herbs
      Yield: 8 Servings

      2 pt Cherry tomatoes
      3 cl Garlic; halved
    1/2 c  Olive oil, divided
      8 oz Feta cheese
      1 ts Sea salt
    1/4 ts Coarse ground pepper
     16 oz Rigatoni or
           - other short pasta
           Fresh basil leaves;
           - coarse chopped

  Set oven @ 400 F/205 C.

  In a 13x9" baking dish, combine tomatoes, garlic, and 1/4 cup olive
  oil. Place the block of feta in the center, moving tomatoes so the
  cheese is sitting on the bottom of the dish. Drizzle the feta with
  remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until tomato
  skins start to split and the garlic has softened, 30 to 40 minutes.

  Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions for al dente.
  Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.

  Stir the feta mixture, lightly pressing tomatoes, until combined.
  Add pasta and toss to combine. Stir in enough reserved pasta water
  to reach desired consistency. Sprinkle with basil.
