Ingredients

For the sauce:

650 g Cherry tomatoes
200 g Feta cheese See notes
1 tsp Dried oregano
2 Cloves Garlic Peeled and chopped
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper

For the pasta:

300 g Pasta See notes
10g Basil

Instructions

Put the cherry tomatoes, feta, oregano, garlic, balsamic and salt and pepper into the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 3 hours.
At the end of the cooking time, the tomatoes should be soft and bursting. Blend the sauce with a hand blender or mash with a fork if you don't have one.
Boil the pasta in salted water according to instructions and drain.
Add the basil and pasta to the sauce and stir well.

Notes

Feta cheese: If you don't like feta you could try a different cheese of your choice. I have used Boursin Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese before and it was amazing!

Pasta: I’d recommend something like rigatoni, penne, fusilli or gemelli, but go with what you prefer

Blending the sauce: I recommend blending as I think it really improves the texture of the sauce. Scoop out a few spoons of tomatoes, blend the rest and then put them back with the pasta so you get a few chunks of tomato bursts. I use a hand blender for this job but if you don’t have one, mash it all up with a fork instead

Cooking the pasta: I tried cooking the pasta in the sauce to begin with and it wasn’t good! So I’d recommend cooking your pasta as normal in a pan and adding it to the sauce when it’s cooked. I think it’s worth the 10 minutes of having a saucepan on for a better result
