Cherry Tomato and Kalamata Olive Pasta

This is a loose and fast recipe for a tasty pasta that can be modified based on what you have on hand. I happened to have a boatload of cherry tomatoes and some basil.

Step 1:
Start with bunch of cherry tomatoes cut in half or whatever tomatoes you have on hand. Drizzle a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top. Then sprinkle with red pepper flakes... the more you add the spicier the dish. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Step 2:
In the mean time, boil some pasta and drain. I chose bowtie noodles because they really grip the sauce. 
Step 3:
When the tomatoes are done, pull them out of the oven and add a bunch of cut up basil and stir around. Let it sit for 5ish minutes. You can add fresh oregano too if you have it.

Step 4:
Pour the still hot tomato mix over the noodles in a pot. Turn the burner on low. Add about 1/4 of a cup of cut up kalamata olives. Add a small container of feta cheese and stir till melted.

Step 5:
EAT! then do the dishes!
