Rigatoni Al Sugo Finto (vegetable Ragu)

"This comforting Italian classic turns simple vegetables into a rich, full bodied sauce. Fresh Roma tomatoes are simmered, blended, and strained into a puree then cooked down with a sofrito of onion, celery, carrot, and plenty of garlic. Dried oregano, basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes deepen the flavor, creating a hearty vegetable‑based sauce. Tossed with rigatoni pasta and even better finished with freshly grated Parmesan. This recipe is serves 4 and is ready in just 45 minutes, making it a perfect meatless weeknight dinner."
