Equipment

Baking dish
Oven
Spiralizer
Fork

Ingredients

8 ounces feta cheese block
2 cups cherry tomatoes
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Salt and pepper to taste
4 medium zucchinis spiralized, about 2 pounds or 900g
¼ cup fresh basil leaves chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the block of feta cheese in the center of a baking dish.
Surround the feta with cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta and tomatoes, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the tomatoes burst and feta cheese is soft and starting to melt.
While the feta and tomatoes are baking, prepare the zucchini noodles by spiralizing the zucchinis. Set aside.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Using a fork, mash the feta and tomatoes together until evenly combined into a creamy sauce.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the baking dish and toss with the feta-tomato sauce until the noodles are well coated.
Garnish with fresh basil and additional red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

To ensure this dish remains keto-friendly, avoid traditional pasta and stick to zucchini noodles. Feel free to experiment with other low-carb vegetables like spaghetti squash or shirataki noodles. The creamy feta sauce pairs well with a variety of herbs, so consider adding thyme or rosemary for a twist. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy within 2-3 days for best flavor.
