Method

  1. Preheat the oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Put the onion, courgettes and garlic into a large ovenproof dish. Slosh over the olive oil, season well and give everything a quick stir, then roast for 15 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes into the veg and continue roasting for 15 minutes more. At the same time, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil so the sauce and pasta will be finished at the same time.
  2. Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook according to pack instructions; about 9-12 minutes.
  3. Drain the pasta. Take the vegetables out of the oven and pop the garlic cloves out of their skins. Mash the garlic against the side of the dish and stir through the vegetables. Tip in the pasta and toss everything together, tearing in some basil as you go. Pile into two bowls and serve with grated parmesan.

    We have had this dish on a number of occasions and it has been enjoyed by all, even when we had it made with cucumber in Florida when the shop staff sold my husband those instead of courgettes!

    Super quick supper full of flavour. Served this with a salad. Removing the baked garlic from their skins was a little tricky as so hot but what a lovely flavour it gave the pasta!

    This dish is perfect for barbeques, as long as your guests enjoy garlic! Really enjoyable dish, and I'll definitely make it again.

    I'm not a vegetarian but I could live on this meal. My boyfriend would prefer it with some meat so we compromise and add grilled halloumi chopped up and toasted pine nuts as a brilliant substitute!

    Really easy, really yummy - garlic came out of skins very easily, but might add an extra clove next time.

    This is one of several similar recipes on the site. I find the combination of roasted vegetables and pasta irresistible and I'm gradually working my way through them. This one couldn't be easier and is delicious. It does indeed go well with Dressed Little Gems but be aware that that recipe serves 8 while this one only serves 2!

    This dish is so easy to make and tastes so good. I sprinkle some balsamic vinegar over the vegetables before putting it into the oven to give it a slight kick. It's the dish I make when friends ask to take a dish to a party.

    Made this tonight, it was lovely. Didn't think olive oil and garlic would be enough flavour but it was plenty! I did think however, there was a little too much courgette in it for my liking so I may reduce it to 1 and substitute it with another. Not sure which, but will have a look at med type veggies whilst doing the shop. Everything worked very well together and I served it with chicken. Great recipe!!
