Pasta with courgette and roasted garlic

My pre-barbecued or roasted garlic comes very handy when I need to create super quick dishes such as this pasta with courgette and roasted garlic. I made it with fresh gluten-free pasta which takes just 2 minutes to cook. While the pasta was cooking, the courgette sauce was also made so the whole dish was ready in just 5 minutes! Obviously you can use other types of pasta - fresh or dried, just follow the instructions on the packaging.
