Warm Feta Pasta Salad

Psalm 140:13

Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.

2 pints sweet 100 cherry tomatoes 

1 diced Shallot 

3 T roasted garlic

1/2 c light olive oil, reserve 2 T 

Kosher salt, to taste

Red pepper flakes, to taste

8 oz block Feta ( I think you could use 1/2 and it would still be good)

6 oz cooked bow tie pasta, set aside

1/2 c reserved pasta water

2 t dried thyme

Topping

Zest of 1 lemon

3 T chopped fresh sweet basil

Light sprinkle of black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Using  a 13x9 pan, lay tomatoes in a single layer. 

Add garlic and shallot. 

Drizzle oil over the mixture, season with salt, pepper flakes and thyme. 

Right in the middle, push tomatoes to make a place for the feta.

Cook 35 minutes until tomatoes are bursting and feta is slightly browned.

Add drained pasta and 1/2 c pasta water.

Stir until you have a sauce.

Mix zest and basil, sprinkle over top.

Lightly pepper.
