Preheat the slow cooker to HIGH. Drizzle with olive oil, add the tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, oregano and sugar and stir together to combine. Season with sea salt, pepper and chilli flakes.

2

Clear some space in the center of the crockpot and add the block of feta cheese. Season and drizzle with olive oil then cover and cook on HIGH for an hour.

3

Check the slow cooker โ€“ the tomatoes should be almost bursting and the feta cheese melty and creamy. Use a spoon to mix everything together.

4

Add the dried pasta and hot vegetable stock and stir together. Cook for 45 minutes to an hour on HIGH, checking after 30 minutes and stirring the pasta.

5

Once the pasta is cooked to your liking have a taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in plenty of fresh chopped basil leaves and serve.
