    • PREPARATIONS:

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. If desired, soak hearts of palm pasta in milk of choice or water according to package directions. Rinse and set aside.
    2. Rinse cherry tomatoes and remove any stems. Place in a medium-sized pyrex dish (9.5″ x 13″). Add garlic, feta, salt and pepper, olive oil, oregano, thyme and stir so that ingredients are mixed.
    3. Place in oven (middle rack) to bake for ~30 minutes, or until cheese has melted and tomatoes have burst. and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
    4. Remove from oven, fold in rinsed room-temperature hearts of palm pasta and ribboned basil so that “pasta” is evenly coated and well combined.
