Baked Feta Pasta
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 8-ounce feta cheese block
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 10 ounces pasta of choice can be gluten-free
- pasta water to thin the sauce if needed
Shrimp Marinade
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Place the cherry tomatoes in a baking dish. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss until everything is well combined.
Place the feta block in the middle of the baking dish. Drizzle some extra olive oil on the feta block. Season with salt and pepper. Then place the baking dish in the oven for around 25 minutes.
While the tomatoes and feta are in the oven, marinate the shrimp and chop the basil and garlic.
After 25 minutes, place the shrimp in the baking dish and bake for 8-10 minutes with the tomatoes and the feta cheese.
While the shrimp are in the oven, cook the pasta until al dente. When you drain the pasta water, reserve some of it.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Add the garlic, basil leaves, and baby spinach to the baking dish. Stir until the spinach wilts and everything is combined.
Stir in the pasta and add some pasta water. Serve and enjoy!
- Shrimp Marinade: You don't necessarily have to marinate the shrimp. I like to add a bit of spice. But if you don't have any seasonings on hand, simply use some olive oil, salt, and pepper.
