Make homemade pasta by mixing 1 cup flour, 1 whole egg, 2 egg yolks, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a drizzle of olive oil until firm.

Refrigerate the pasta dough for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a bowl, add 1 cup of sweet cherry tomatoes and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.

Season the tomatoes with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon dried oregano (reserve some for later), and chili flakes to taste. Mix to coat the tomatoes.

Slice 6 cloves of garlic and add them to the tomato mixture, ensuring they are not too thin to prevent burning.

Place 8-10 ounces of feta cheese on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle with reserved oregano and a drizzle of olive oil.

Add 130 grams of goat cheese on top of the feta cheese.

Place the tomato and cheese mixture in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered.

Remove the skin from 1.5 pounds of salmon fillet using a sharp knife, ensuring to keep the knife flat against the skin.

Scale the salmon if necessary, then season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

After 20 minutes of baking the tomatoes, place the salmon on top and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

Flour the surface and roll out the refrigerated pasta dough until thin.

Cut the rolled pasta into desired shapes and sizes, then unroll to create fresh pasta.
