A delightful baked pasta dish with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Cook the penne pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Don't overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook in the oven.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oregano, and black pepper.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
In a greased baking dish, layer the cooked pasta and crumbled feta cheese.
Distribute the cheese evenly for consistent flavor.
Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and cheese, ensuring it covers evenly.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture if needed.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top.
For a golden crust, ensure the cheese is evenly spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the dish halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cooling helps the dish set and makes serving easier.
