🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option that adds umami.

1

Start by boiling water in a pot on high heat for the pasta.

2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

3

Place about a pint of whole cherry tomatoes in a 2.5-quart oven-proof baking dish.

4

Fit an 8-ounce block of feta cheese in the middle of the tomatoes.

5

Season the tomatoes and feta with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

6

Sprinkle some Gimme That seasoning over the dish (or use regular salt).

7

Put the baking dish in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.

8

While the tomatoes and feta are roasting, gather fresh herbs from the garden: parsley, basil, and oregano.

9

Chop the fresh oregano and parsley, and set aside.

10

Use a garlic press to prepare a few cloves of garlic without peeling them.

11

After 25 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven; it should be hot and the tomatoes should be soft.

12

Add the prepared garlic to the roasted tomatoes and feta, then return the dish to the oven for another 10 minutes.

13

Once the pasta is cooked and drained, chop the basil using a chiffonade technique.

14

Mix the roasted tomatoes, feta, and garlic together with a wooden spoon until combined into a sauce.

15

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine.

16

Add the chopped fresh herbs (oregano, basil, parsley) to the pasta and mix well.

17

Top with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
