Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 1 can Palmini noodles (drained and rinsed)
- 1 block (8 oz) feta cheese
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) to prepare for baking the ingredients.
- Prepare Tomatoes and Garlic: Place the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic into a baking dish and drizzle evenly with the olive oil to coat the ingredients.
- Add Feta Cheese: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish amidst the tomatoes and garlic.
- Bake: Bake everything together for 25 minutes until the feta is softened and the tomatoes have burst, releasing their juices.
- Mix in Palmini Noodles: Remove from oven and add the drained and rinsed Palmini noodles to the baking dish; stir well to combine so the noodles become coated with the creamy feta and tomato mixture.
- Season and Garnish: Season the dish with salt and pepper to your preference, then garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Notes
