Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Add grape tomatoes and garlic to a 3-quart baking dish. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the tomatoes and turn to coat with oil.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove the baking dish, raise the oven rack to the upper third of the oven, increase temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and return the dish to the oven. Bake until the tomatoes and cheese start to brown slightly, about 10 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, boil pasta in salted water until al dente, according to package instructions.
• Reserve 0.5 cup pasta water. Just before draining, pour spinach into the pasta pot to wilt it instantly, then drain pasta and spinach together.
• Smash the roasted tomatoes, garlic, oil, and feta together with the back of a wooden spoon. Toss pasta and spinach with the mixture, then add basil, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
• Thin the mixture with reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
