Boil water in a pot and add bow tie pasta to cook until al dente.

While the pasta is boiling, prepare a traditional casserole pan.

Add cherry tomatoes to the baking dish, and sprinkle with a little salt.

Add red pepper flakes to the tomatoes.

Place a block of feta cheese in the center of the tomatoes.

Drizzle olive oil over the feta and tomatoes.

Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, then increase the temperature to 450°F (232°C) for the last few minutes for caramelization.

Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and add fresh garlic to the mixture, stirring to combine.

Tear fresh basil and add it to the dish, mixing everything together to create a creamy sauce.

Add the cooked pasta directly into the baking dish and stir to combine, adding reserved pasta water if needed for creaminess.

Adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes as desired.
