I cut this recipe in half, and used a scanty amount of pasta and a generous amount of zucchini, just because of package sizes/how much pasta we tend to eat. This was quick and simpler to make than I expected. Next time, though I would double the garlic and oil seasoning; it crossed the line from subtle into bland, at least to our tastes. The roasted garlic and herbs was really lovely, there just needed to be more of it.
