Olives, Baked Feta & Tomato Pasta
10 mins prepServes 4
Easy and super satisfying pasta recipe playing on last winter’s trending baked feta pasta, enhanced with good quality marinated olives. Briny, salty, and perfect with tomatoes and feta.
1. Preheat oven to 400F. In an oven-safe baking dish place olive oil, tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, sea salt, pepper, dried basil, fresh thyme and any optional condiments or herbs of your choice.
2. Drizzle more olive oil and dried thyme on top and bake for ~35 mins.
3. While the feta bakes, cook pasta of your choice. Drain & save ~1/4 cup of pasta water- which we’ll add to the sauce later to make it even creamier. Pasta water has starch and is the best emulsifier!
4. Remove from the oven, mash & mix into a sauce. Add pasta. Add olives. Add a pinch of pasta water to thicken and emulsify the sauce. Top with fresh basil! Enjoy every bite!
5. PRO tip: if reheating leftovers- add crumbled feta on top, a drizzle of olive oil- and a tiny splash of oat cream. Delish.
