Baked Feta Pasta With Shrimp Recipes

BAKED FETA TOMATO PASTA RECIPE WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F. Bring a salted pot of water to a boil.
• Step 2: Rinse the frozen shrimp and place on a baking sheet. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Step 3: Drizzle 1/2 cup olive oil on a second baking sheet. Put the block of feta on the sheet along with 2 pints of cherry or grape tomatoes and 6 to 8 cloves garlic. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon red chili flakes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt over feta and tomatoes. Gently toss the tomatoes so they are coated in oil.
• Step 4: Put both baking sheets in the oven. Roast the shrimp for 6 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove and set aside. Cook the feta and tomatoes for 10 minutes then rotate the pan 180 degrees, turn the heat up to 450, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are bursting and the feta is slightly browned around the edges and very soft, even a little oozy.
• Step 5: Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup or so of the pasta cooking water then drain the noodles.
• Step 6: Remove the feta and tomatoes from the oven and stir to break up the feta. Add everything on the baking sheet (oil and all) to a large pan or bowl along with the cooked spaghetti and shrimp. Toss to combine. Divide among bowls and top with parsley or basil. Serve.

BAKED FETA PASTA WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and crank the heat to 400°F (200°C).
• Dump the tomatoes and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch (23-by 33-cm) baking dish. Strew the thyme over the tomatoes and drizzle the whole thing with 1/4 cup oil. Sprinkle with salt and stir to coat.
• Nestle the feta cheese in the middle of the dish and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup oil. Sprinkle the entire dish with red pepper flakes and a wee bit of black pepper.
• Bake until the tomatoes are lightly charred and have burst, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and nestle the shrimp among the tomatoes. Return the dish to the oven and continue baking until the shrimp is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• While the shrimp is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until just al dente-about a minute less than specified on the package. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta.
• Remove the thyme sprigs and discard. Stir the feta-tomato-shrimp mixture until evenly mixed.
• Pour the pasta into the dish and toss completely. If the dish looks a bit dry, add some of the reserved pasta water.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with the parsley and lemon zest and serve.
