- Preheat your oven to 400.

Scatter that around the feta. Drizzle ½ tablespoon of oil over the feta and season that with salt and pepper as well.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- While the dish bakes, prepare your pasta according to package directions, then drain and set aside. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking liquid.
- Remove the feta dish from the oven. Add the chopped basil and stir everything together to combine. Add the pasta and stir again until everything is mixed together.
