Eggless Pomarola Fresh Tomato Sauce

This is Italian cooking at its most honest — ripe plum tomatoes, fragrant vegetables, fresh basil, and good olive oil slowly coaxed into something deeply flavorful and silky smooth. The soffritto of onion, carrot, and celery builds a savory backbone before the tomatoes even hit the pot, which is exactly what separates a great homemade sauce from anything you'd find in a jar. A long, unhurried simmer lets everything break down and concentrate, and passing the whole thing through a food mill gives you that velvety, restaurant-quality texture without any effort. Because this sauce is built entirely from vegetables, olive oil, and aromatics, it's naturally free of eggs in every step — no binders, no enrichers, nothing to second-guess. It's the kind of recipe you'll want to make in a big batch and freeze in portions so you always have something this good on hand. Toss it with pasta, spoon it over polenta, or use it as a base for braised dishes — it holds up beautifully in just about any direction you take it.
