Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a deep casserole dish, drizzle olive oil generously.

Place a block of Narragansett Creamery's feta cheese in the center of the dish.

Surround the feta with about 1.5 cups of grape tomatoes in a single layer.

Drizzle more olive oil over the feta and tomatoes.

Slice one chili pepper and add it on top of the feta.

Smash and add four cloves of garlic to the dish.

Generously salt the mixture and add freshly cracked black pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then switch to broil for an additional 10 minutes.

While the feta and tomatoes are baking, cook 1 pound of spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain it in a colander.

Remove the baking dish from the oven; the feta should be broiled and the tomatoes charred.

Mix the melted feta and tomatoes together to create a sauce.

Add the cooked spaghetti to the baking dish and toss to coat with the sauce.

Add a little pasta water (about a quarter cup) to loosen the sauce if needed.

Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the pasta before serving.
