Equipment

  • Large Oven dish
  • Pasta pot

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g rigatoni
  • 400 g cherry vine tomatoes halved
  • 200 g feta
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • ½ teaspoon Harrisa
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoon jalapeños
  • Chilli flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200C. Place the block of feta into the centre of a large baking tray and scatter the tomatoes, red onion, red pepper, and jalapeños around the feta. In a small bowl, mix together the honey and harissa until combined. Drizzle this mixture over the vegetables and feta. Sprinkle over paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Finish with a generous drizzle of olive oil.

  • Place the tray in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. After around 25 minutes, start cooking your pasta so everything is ready at the same time. Once baked, remove the tray from the oven. The tomatoes should be bursting and the feta soft and creamy. Mash everything together with a spoon and stir

  • Add the cooked pasta directly to the tray along with a splash or two of pasta water to help loosen the sauce and bind everything together so it coats the pasta evenly. Mix everything together until a glossy sauce forms and coats the pasta.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add chilli flakes if you want extra heat. Finish with fresh basil and serve.

Notes

Use good feta, choose a block feta rather than pre crumbled. It melts better, becomes creamier in the oven, and creates a smoother sauce.
