  Salsa di Pomodoro Della Mamma To quote the author, "Children don't
  usually like to see pieces of tomatoes and ingredients floating in
  their sauce (we certainly didn't!), so our Mother used to prepare
  tomato sauce the following way." Place the onion and half of the oil
  in a saucepan and cook until the onion is lightly browned.
   Add tomatoes, carrot, parsley, garlic, salt, basil and celery. Cook,
  covered, over moderate heat, stirring very occasionally, for 1/2 hour
  or until the vegetables are very soft.
   Strain through a food mill, taste for salt and adjust if necessary.
  (If sauce is too thin, place on heat again to thicken. ) Remove from
  heat, add the remaining oil and stir.
   NOTE: For a marinara or a more piquant sauce, just before adding the
  last oil, add 1/4 tsp crushed hot red pepper and 1 clove garlic
  passed through a garlic press or chopped very fine. YIELDS: 3 cups,
  SERVES 6-8
