This simple pasta dish captures the essence of summer with sweet, roasted cherry tomatoes, creamy feta, and fresh basil. Everything roasts together in one pan while the pasta cooks, infusing the tomatoes with deep, jammy flavor and softening the feta into a rich, tangy sauce. I use a gluten-free yellow lentil and rice spaghetti noodle here for its satisfying texture and extra boost of plant-based protein. It’s a quick, nourishing meal that feels both comforting and fresh—perfect for busy weeknights or a relaxed evening on the patio. Serve it with a crisp salad or sautéed greens for a beautifully balanced plate.
