Soffritto
According to Wikipedia, soffritto is the Italian version of French mirepoix but made with olive oil rather than butter. Slowly soften a finely diced mixture of onion, carrot, and celery in a heavy pan. Garlic and typical seasonings can be added as well. Soffritto is the starting point for standard pasta primavera sauce, and for much else too.

So that's what I've been doing when I make spaghetti sauce. The word sounds like a toast to cheer when raising up a glass of wine.
Soffritto!
