3. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the garlic and grated courgette and cook gently for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
4. In the meantime, roughly chop the basil and place in a bowl with the fromage frais, spring onions and chopped cherry tomatoes. Stir to mix and add to the frying pan. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
