Tomato Confit Pasta Salad, perfect summer week night dinner #easyrecipe #cookingvideo #recipe #pasta

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

In a baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the tomatoes evenly.

Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted tomatoes (with their juices), fresh basil, and feta cheese (if using).

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss everything together until well mixed.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled pasta salad.
