Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, add the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the tomatoes evenly.

Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish, nestled among the tomatoes. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the feta block.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is soft and golden on top.

While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and immediately stir everything together, breaking up the feta and mixing it with the tomatoes to create a creamy sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.

Stir in the fresh basil, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately while hot.
