Note from Sonia: No grated cheese is wanted or needed for this dish. It will simply overpower the taste of the sauce. Most importantly, purchase the best quality, fresh vine-ripened tomatoes you can find, possibly from a farmer's market. Tomatoes must not be overly watery. Make the sauce at least an hour before serving to allow time for the ingredients to marry and for all the flavors to fully develop.
