Cooking

  2. While the feta and tomatoes are baking, boil your pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Notes

To store leftovers, let the pasta cool down and place it in an airtight container. It can stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days. When warming it up, adding a splash of olive oil or a bit of water can help revive the delicious creamy sauce.
