Ingredients

2 carrots, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, drained, juices reserved, chopped

1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper
12 eggs
6 teaspoons water
6 tablespoons butter
8 ounces mozzarella, grated

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place first 3 ingredients in processor. Chop finely using on/off turns. Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped vegetables and sauté until tender and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, reserved juices, herbs and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Cover partially and simmer until tomato sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.( Can be prepared up to 1 month ahead. Freeze.)

    Step 2

    Whisk 2 eggs with 1 teaspoon water until well blended. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Using spatula, lift edges of eggs as they cook, letting uncooked part run underneath until omelet is cooked but still creamy. Spoon 2 tablespoons tomato sauce over half of omelet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons mozzarella. Slide out onto plate, folding omelet over filling. Keep warm. Repeat process with remaining eggs, water, butter, sauce and cheese. Spoon any remaining tomato sauce over omelets.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
