3. Heat the olive oil in a wok or a pan, when it's hot add the chopped garlic and simmer it for 1-2 minutes stirring continuously, then add the zucchini. Season the simmering courgette with salt, pepper and basil, stir it occasionally.
4. When the zucchini is almost softened, add the chopped tomato. Sprinkle the tomato cubes with a pinch of sugar and add to the zucchini, combine them together carefully. Simmer the vegetables for 5 minutes, but not more because the tomato will be too soft and will fall apart, then add the creams and stir them together.
5. When the pasta is cooked, drain it, then stir carefully to the vegetable sauce. When it's combined perfectly, remove it from the heat and serve it immediately.
6. Sprinkle the top of the pasta with grated cheese to taste.
