• 1-1/2 quarts water
• 2 or 3 stalks celery and leaves, chopped fine
• 2 small carrots, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 generous tablespoon oil
• 3 fresh ripe tomatoes, or 1/2 cup canned tomatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• salt and pepper, to taste
• chopped parsley (sprinkle)
• 1 pound shell or elbow pasta
