Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Set a timer for 45 minutes.

Place the block of feta cheese in the center of a ceramic or glass baking dish.

Open the package of tomatoes and add them around the feta cheese.

Sprinkle a light coat of each seasoning (onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning) across the baking dish, using a generous amount of black pepper.

Add a generous amount of tomatoes to ensure moisture during baking.

Add 1/2 cup of olive oil over the entire mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Add minced garlic to the mixture.

If using chicken, season it with the same ingredients minus the red pepper flakes, replacing them with seasoned salt, and cook in an air fryer.

Boil the pasta according to package instructions.

After baking, crush the tomatoes with a spoon to release more juice and mix everything together.

Combine the cooked pasta with the baked mixture and serve.
