Think of Hail Mary Pasta as a formula as much as a recipe — as long as you’ve got pasta, garlic, tomatoes, and olive oil, you’ve got dinner. Treat those four ingredients as a launching pad, adding whatever other vegetables or fresh herbs you have on hand to the tomatoes. (No zucchini, as we’ve added here? Try corn kernels, a leafy green like spinach, or other favorite vegetable, cut small.) By roasting everything in a very hot oven, dinner will be ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta. Feel free to vary the cheese on top, or leave it out entirely.

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- In a sheet pan, combine tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir and roast until the tomatoes begin to burst and some of the juices brown, 15-25 minutes, occasionally stirring the vegetables or giving the dish a good shake.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, reserving 2/3 cup of cooking water before draining.
- When the vegetables are ready, remove from the oven. Add a few tablespoons of reserved cooking water to the sheet pan and stir to release browned bits.

- Season pasta to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese and with fresh basil.
