Baked Feta

So easy and so delicious... my boyfriend and I tend to lose ourselves and fight over who gets to lick the dish! ***Any tangy, soft cheese is perfect for this. I LOVE it with goat cheese. Also: if you're short on time or just don't feel like turning on the oven, throw everything together in a microwave safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap (tomato sauce explodes all over the microwave otherwise), and microwave about a minute. Voila!
