Method

1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Put the tomatoes and garlic in a 7-inch (18 cm) dish, set the feta in the middle, pour the oil over and bake 28–30 minutes.
2. Boil the pasta for the last ten minutes of that; save a splash of the water and drain.
3. Crush the feta and the burst tomatoes into a sauce with a fork, stir in the yogurt, cottage cheese and spinach until the spinach wilts, then fold the pasta through with the saved water. Taste and salt if needed; basil and chili at the end.
