Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies, Pasta
     Yield: 4 servings

     2 pt Cherry tomatoes
     5 cl Garlic; peeled, left whole
     5    Thyme sprigs
     2    Rosemary sprigs
 1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
   1/2 c  Cup extra-virgin olive oil;
          - more to serve
     8 oz Feta
   1/2 ts Black pepper; more to serve
       pn Red-pepper flakes
    12 oz Short pasta; such as
          - farfalle, campanelle, rotini
          - or cavatappi
     3 c  boiling water
     1 c  torn basil leaves
          Flaky sea salt; to serve

 Set oven @ 400 F/205 C.

 In a shallow 2 quart casserole or gratin dish, or an
 11-by-7-inch baking dish, combine tomatoes, garlic,
 thyme, rosemary and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with 1/4 cup
 of the olive oil to coat. Place the feta in the middle
 of the dish, and top with the remaining 1/4 cup olive
 oil. Sprinkle the black pepper and red-pepper flakes
 over everything. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the
 garlic has softened and the tomatoes have burst their
 skins.

 Add the pasta to the pan in an even layer and sprinkle
 with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour the boiling water
 on top. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, carefully
 submerge pasta. Cover tightly with foil and bake until
 pasta is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Remove from oven
 and let the pasta stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes to
 absorb the excess liquid.

 Stir in basil until everything is well incorporated, and
 the tomatoes and cheese create a creamy sauce. When
 serving, top with more black pepper, oil and flaky sea
 salt.
