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. The recipe is a Yummly original created by [Debbie Koenig](https://www.yummly.com/dish/author/Debbie-Koenig).
