Hot Honey Baked Feta & Salmon Pasta

Ingredients

• 200 g Feta cheese (one block)
• 400 g Salmon fillets (approx. 2-3 fillets, skinless)
• 500 g Cherry tomatoes
• 250 g Pasta (dry weight, such as fusilli or penne)
• 2 tbsp Hot honey (for drizzling)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• Fresh basil (a handful, torn)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. 2

   In a large ovenproof baking dish, place the block of feta cheese in the center and surround it with the cherry tomatoes.

3. 3

   Place the salmon fillets into the dish alongside the tomatoes and feta.

4. 4

   Drizzle the olive oil and hot honey over the salmon, feta, and tomatoes. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the tomatoes have burst and the salmon is cooked through.

6. 6

   While the salmon and feta are baking, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a small amount of pasta water.

7. 7

   Once the baking dish is out of the oven, use a fork to break up the salmon and mash the softened feta and tomatoes together to create a creamy sauce.

8. 8

   Add the cooked pasta and fresh basil to the baking dish. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the consistency.

9. 9

   Serve immediately while hot.
