I deleted Macintosh HD whilst wiping my mac

So I was attempting to wipe my mac and reinstall MacOS Monterey, and I accidentally deleted Macintosh HD from the volumes bar on the left. Now I can’t reinstall Monterey and I have a feeling it should have gone onto the Macintosh HD, which I have deleted! What can I do to get it back?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1
