Steps:
- In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper.

RAW TOMATO SAUCE
The best tomato sauce is raw tomato sauce. Use the juiciest, sweetest summer tomatoes you can find for this light, fresh sauce, and toss it with 1/2 lb. of well-drained hot spaghetti and lots of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Or use it to spoon onto Pizza Dough; over poached, fried, or scrambled eggs; or on grilled fish, chicken, or zucchini.

EASY UNCOOKED TOMATO SAUCE FOR PASTA
I love this! This is a great warm weather meal you can put together the sauce in the morning b4 work or even the night b4 and it will be perfect by the time you get home. Using canned tomatoes makes this even easier but you can use fresh if you can get good ones or even roast some Romas for this dish. This is also great B4 or with a rare charcoal grilled steak or as part of a larger Italian meal. Cook time is the marinating time.

Steps:
- Lightly drain the tomatoes (if they are in a tomato puree or a tomato sauce than by all means keep the sauce but if in water get rid of most of it).
- Place tomatoes in a bowl, large jar, or sealable container.
- If the tomatoes are whole you should crush them up with a fork (I use a potato masher) or dice them; you can also use diced tomatoes.
- Add the remaining ingredients except pasta.
- I use either fresh Basil or dried Oregano, alot of it.
- By crushing the garlic rather than chopping you will get more garlic flavor so don't be tempted to use too much more than what I have listed unless it is from a jar or diced.
- Cover container and place in the fridge for at least 3-6 hours; the longer it sits the better it is.
- Remove the garlic clove from the sauce and take out of the fridge just b4 cooking the pasta You want it to be someplace between cold and room temperature If it is too warm you will not have as big a flavor burts when the hot pasta meets the sauce If too cold it will cool the pasta too much.
- Cook pasta until al dente, drain and toss with the cold sauce.
- Eat and enjoy, serve with hot crusty bread and a tossed green salad.

Steps:
- Boil several quarts of water in a deep pot. Score the tomatoes top and bottom with an ''x,'' just breaking the skin, and add the tomatoes to the water. Let the water return to the boil and continue boiling 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes, run them under cold water and peel off the skins.
- Slice the tomatoes in half crosswise, place a sieve over a bowl and, holding each half over the sieve, push the seeds and juice out and into the sieve. Press out the juice and save for another use.
- Lightly sprinkle the cut surfaces of the tomatoes with salt and let them stand 10 minutes. Gently squeeze them to get rid of any additional juice and coarsely chop the tomatoes.
- Put the tomatoes into a bowl and add lemon juice, garlic, basil, salt and pepper, adjusting seasonings to taste.
- Serve over hot, very thin pasta (capellini, for example), garnishing each serving with a sprig of basil and grated Parmesan.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best sauce.
- Use a variety of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, and heirloom, to create a complex flavor.
- Add some garlic, onion, and fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
- Let the sauce rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- For a richer sauce, add some grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of olive oil.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni.
