Ingredients
- 2 cups of washed cherry tomatoes

Instructions

- Add a block of feta cheese in the middle of the dish, around the cherry tomatoes and drizzle the ingredients with olive oil.
- Bake this at 400° for 30 minutes until the cheese is soft and the tomatoes are juicy.

TIPS
If substituting pasta for spaghetti squash, follow these instructions:
Cut spaghetti squash in half, scoop out seeds and brush with oil. Place half of the remaining ingredients in each half of the squash and bake at on a baking tray lined with parchment paper at 400F for 30-45 mins, or until the squash is soft but slightly resistant when stabbed with a fork. Scrape the strands of squash with a fork, while mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
