Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a casserole dish, add 3 cups of grape tomatoes and make a spot in the middle for an 8 oz block of feta cheese.

Drizzle homemade chive oil over the tomatoes, coating them well.

Add 8 cloves of sliced garlic to the dish.

Add 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, a couple of good pinches of kosher salt, some fresh cracked pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh oregano.

Drizzle a little more oil over the mixture.

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes.

While the casserole is baking, bring water to a boil and cook 1 pound of pasta shells until al dente.

After about 30 minutes, check the casserole; it should have some browning on the cheese and the tomatoes should be soft.

Drain the pasta, reserving some of the water, and return the pasta to the pot.

Add a couple of handfuls of chopped baby spinach to the pasta and mix well.

Add the baked feta and tomato mixture to the pasta and mix everything together, incorporating the garlic and feta.

Finish with fresh basil chiffonade and mix again.
