Feta Cheese Pasta

This recipe is all over the Internet but i have done it a bit different. They say that Finland supermarkets ran out of feta Cheese due to this recipe.

I am not sure about that but am pretty sure that this is the easiest pasta recipe that you will come across. All you do is arrange the ingredients and bake. 

Its a super simple recipe that can be done in an hurry and still taste amazing with all the creaminess of feta cheese and the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes.

250gms cherry tomatoes

4 garlic cloves

5 large basil leaves

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp chilli powder
