Roasted Tomato and Feta Pasta Salad

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Wash and cut grape tomatoes in half lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place tomatoes face down on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Roast for 45–60 minutes, depending on your oven and the size of your tomatoes. They should be slightly charred but not falling apart, when done.

When the tomatoes are halfway through cooking, heat a large pot of salted water to a boil on medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, cook pasta according to package instructions.

In the meantime, prepare your dressing. Add all ingredients to a food process and blend until fully incorporated (you may have to scrape down the sides of the bowl). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Toss together cooked pasta, dressing, roasted tomatoes and feta cheese. Lastly, incorporate the basil and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
