F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toss the cherry tomatoes and olive oil with 1\/4 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Pour into a 2 1\/2 to 3-quart baking dish. Place the feta in the center of the tomatoes, then season with a pinch of black pepper, lg pinch of thyme and bury garlic under tomatoes. Bake until the tomatoes have burst and the feta has softened, about 30 minutes. Increase the heat to 425 degrees F, then continue to cook until the tomatoes and feta are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 13 minutes. Reserve 1\/2 cup of cooking water, then drain well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right as the tomatoes and feta come out of the oven, stir in the garlic. Use the back of a spoon to smash the tomatoes and feta into a smooth and creamy sauce (it\u2019s OK if some of the oil isn\u2019t fully integrated and combined). Toss in the pasta and half of the basil until evenly coated. Add some pasta water, a couple tablespoons at a time, if the sauce becomes too thick. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining basil and a pinch of flaky sea salt for serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: since I used a dutch oven my tomatoes did not brown as they were not spread out. Added thyme too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 pints (20 ounces) cherry tomatoes1\/2 cup extra virgin olive oilKosher salt and freshly ground black pepperOne 8-ounce block feta cheese, drained10 ounces mezze rigatoni1 garlic clove, finely grated1\/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly slicedFlaky sea salt, for servinlg pinch &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/2021\/04\/29\/tiktok-inspired-baked-feta-pasta\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,7],"tags":[118,298,1002,28,498,528],"class_list":["post-7521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pasta","category-recipes","tag-basil","tag-feta","tag-flaky-salt","tag-garlic","tag-grape-tomatoes","tag-pasta"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7521"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7529,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7521\/revisions\/7529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
