OVEN-ROASTED VEG & FETA
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In an ovenproof dish, combine the rinsed baby tomatoes, the diced Onion, the grated garlic, the oregano, the chilli flakes (to taste), seasoning, and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer and place the drained feta in the center. Drizzle the feta with oil and bake in the hot oven until the tomatoes have burst and the feta is lightly golden, 25-30 minutes.
PERFECT PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
SEEDS & SALAD
Place the pumpkin & sunflower seed mix in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded salad leaves, the diced Cucumber, the toasted seeds, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
COAT THE PASTA
Once the feta & tomatoes are done, mash with a fork or potato masher. Add to the pot with the drained pasta and mix until fully combined. Add the reserved pasta water in 5ml increments if you would like a saucier consistency and season.
GOOD, BETTER, FETA.
Bowl up the feta pasta and sprinkle over the torn basil. Side with the fresh salad. Great work, Chef!
