Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Pasta with cherry tomatoes, olives and feta cheese

Wash and dry 500 g cherry tomatoes.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Cut them in 2, place the cut part on top, then sprinkle with fine salt and leave to stand for 15 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Meanwhile, pour a little olive oil into a gratin dish, then place 200 g feta in the center (no need to cut it).

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Pour the cherry tomatoes around...

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Add 50 g black olives cut in 2, sprinkle with herbes de Provence then lightly salt tomatoes and olives, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Stage 6

Meanwhile, cook the pasta of your choice, then drain.

Stage 7

After baking, the tomatoes are candied and the feta seems to have remained the same...

Stage 8 - 1 min.

...but that's where the magic happens: stir the entire contents of the dish with a spoon, and the cream forms.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Pour the still-warm pasta into the dish, toss, serve immediately and enjoy.

Remarks

You can use any kind of pasta you like: penne, spaghetti, fusilli, etc.

You'll notice that, strangely enough, the pasta takes on a surprising "pizza" taste (tomatoes-cheese-herbs-olive), which makes us call this recipe "pazzas" in the family.

Keeping

To be enjoyed as soon as possible, but can be kept for 1 or 2 days, and reheated.
