Ingredients 

  • 8 oz (225 g) fusilli pasta
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 medium shallot, finely diced
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) red chili flakes
  • 12 oz (350 g) feta
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large baking dish, toss together the broccoli florets, diced shallot, olive oil, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Spread it all out evenly.

    1 medium shallot
    ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Nestle the feta blocks right in the middle of the veggies. Drizzle just a little extra olive oil over the feta.

  • Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and lightly charred and the feta looks golden around the edges.
  • Meanwhile, cook your fusilli pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and use a fork to break up the feta; it'll turn creamy and coat the veggies beautifully. Add the lemon juice and cooked pasta then toss to combine.

Notes

  • Toss in some fresh garlic cloves before baking for some extra flavor.
  • If it looks a bit dry for your taste, splash in more pasta water to loosen things up.
