Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large ovenproof skillet or medium baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, quartered shallot, smashed garlic, and all but 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, and toss to combine.

Place the block of feta into the center of the tomato mixture and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.

Scatter 3 sprigs of thyme over the tomatoes. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the tomatoes are bursting, and the feta is golden on top.

Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook 10 oz. of pasta until al dente according to the package directions.

Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.

To the skillet with tomatoes and feta, add the cooked pasta, reserved pasta water, and lemon zest. Stir until combined.

Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
