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
