It takes about half an hour to make it, and makes everybody happy.

2. Grate the garlic into the pan.
3. Chop all courgettes into thin strips and add to the pan.
4.Meanwhile, start boiling water for the pasta in the kettle and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
5. Add the salt and pepper to the pan.
6. Keep the lid on the pan and stir the mixture every few minutes so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Add water to the pan if the mixture starts to dry out.
