Ingredients

• 250 g penne or fusilli pasta
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups (500 ml) cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2½ cups (625 ml) vegetable or chicken stock

• 100 g feta cheese, crumbled, plus extra for topping
• ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh cream (optional)

Method

1. Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent.
2. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes until they start to release their juices.
4. Add the pasta, stock and BlixSam Pasta a la Sam. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12–15 minutes until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
6. Stir in the cream, if using, and half of the feta. Season with salt, black pepper and chilli flakes.
7. Remove from the heat and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to thicken.
8. Top with the remaining feta and fresh basil. Serve hot!
