Definitely my base of soffritto is onion, carrot and celery. Italians are garlophobic, the garlic is only whole and when has a little bit of color you take it out. Sometimes my soffritto has a little pancetta in it.
My other trinities are: butter, sage and pancetta if I want to dress pasta my northerner grandmother style.
Garlic, oil and peperoncino Southern style (I never chop the garlic 😁 so we can discard it)
Oil, garlic and anchovies is my other
scallion, ginger and chillies too
