This mix of finely diced vegetables and a fat (usually olive oil) is the base for many soups, sauces, ragus, and braises in Italian cooking. A classic mix includes carrots, celery, and onions, and depending on the region, garlic, parsley, and even pancetta or anchovies are added. The key is to cook gently until vegetables are meltingly soft and lightly browned.
