In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, combine chickpeas, tomatoes, oil, rosemary, vinegar, garlic paste, and pepper. Stir well and nestle feta in the center. Bake for about 20 minutes until most of the tomatoes have split and the feta is creamy. Tear basil leaves and sprinkle over the dish. If desired, stir feta into the chickpea mixture. Serve with pita.
