Feta BAKE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In an ovenproof dish, toss the baby tomatoes, the diced Onion, the grated Garlic, the oregano, the chilli flakes, seasoning and 40ml of oil. Spread out in a single layer and place the drained feta in the center. Drizzle some oil over the feta. Bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes, until the tomatoes have slightly burst and the feta is golden.
SIMMERING PENNE
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. When the water is boiling, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through some olive oil to prevent sticking.
SEEDS & LEAVES
Place the seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. In a salad bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves, the diced Cucumber and the toasted seeds with drizzle of oil, the vinegar and some seasoning.
MIX IT ALL TOGETHER...
Once the Feta and tomatoes are done, mash with a fork or potato masher and mix until combined. Add to the pot with the pasta, and mix until fully combined. Add the reserved pasta water if you would like a saucier consistency. Season to taste.
