1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a 13x9-inch baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, halved garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Place the block of feta cheese in the center, adjusting the tomatoes so the cheese is sitting on the bottom of the dish. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil over the feta and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Remove the baked feta and tomato mixture from the oven and stir it together, lightly pressing the tomatoes to release their juices. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Stir in enough of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired creamy consistency. Sprinkle the dish with the chopped fresh basil leaves before serving.
