Creating Baked Feta Pasta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Prepare the Baking Dish: In a baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the tomatoes are well-coated.

4. Add Feta: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the dish, ensuring it’s surrounded by the tomato mixture.

5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and the feta is soft and golden.

6. Combine: Remove the dish from the oven and use a fork to mash the feta and mix it with the tomatoes. The result should be a creamy sauce.

7. Mix in Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.

8. Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves for an added burst of flavor and color.

9. Serve: Enjoy your Baked Feta Pasta warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
