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

Add about 1 1/2 cups of cherry tomatoes to a baking dish.

Pour in about 1/2 a cup of olive oil.

Sprinkle in a little salt, being cautious as feta is quite salty.

Add freshly ground pepper.

Place a block of feta cheese in the baking dish.

Add fresh thyme and a little drizzle of olive oil on top of the feta.

Bake at 400 F for 35 minutes.

While the feta and tomatoes are baking, prepare your pasta by seasoning a pot of boiling water with salt.

Add your favorite pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente.

When the feta and tomatoes are done baking, remove the thyme.

Add 1 clove of finely minced garlic and 1 tsp of lemon zest to the baking dish.

Break apart the melted feta cheese and mix it into the tomatoes and olive oil to form a sauce.

Add the cooked pasta, rinsed, pitted, and sliced kalamata olives, and chopped fresh basil or oregano to the sauce.

Mix everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the cheesy sauce.

Serve the dish.
