Tomato and Feta Baked Shrimp Pasta

The baked shrimp and feta dish turned out great! The shrimp, feta and tomato sauce combo worked just as well in a pasta dish as it did by itself. The pasta absorbed a lot of the extra juices from the sauce along with all of its tasty flavour with no bread required.
