Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pints (roughly 24 oz) cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, plus more for topping
- 1 small block feta cheese, 7-8 oz. (I recommend sheep's milk feta)
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails off (I like to use medium, but you can use the size of your choice)*
- 12 oz. short pasta, like campanelle, fusilli, cavatappi, or penne
- ¼ cup chopped basil, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small bowl, toss shrimp with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ pepper.
- In a 9x13 baking dish (or similar 3 quart dish), toss together tomatoes, sliced garlic, ⅓ cup olive oil, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes until combined.
- Place feta cheese block in the center of the tomatoes and drizzle cheese with remaining Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with ⅛ tsp pepper.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- While baking dish is in the oven, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. When draining, reserve about ½ cup of pasta water.
- After 35 minutes, remove baking dish from oven and top with shrimp. Place back in oven and cook for about 6-8 more minutes, until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir tomatoes, cheese, and shrimp together, using the back of the spoon to gently mash feta and tomatoes.
- Stir pasta into the mixture until it's well coated in the sauce. Stir in chopped basil. If sauce appears too thick, add reserved pasta sauce 1 Tbsp at a time.
- Serve topped with more red pepper flakes and basil, if desired.
Notes
- *You can easily increase the amount of shrimp in this dish if you want.
