Now, let me give you a few pro tips to make this sauce extra special:

• Use the best quality San Marzano crushed tomatoes you can find. They're the gold standard for pizza sauce and will give your sauce that authentic Italian flavor.
• Don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your taste. Nonni always said,
  "Cucinare è amore" (Cooking is love).
• Let the sauce sit for a few hours before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop a deeper, richer taste.
• If you want a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to puree the sauce.
   

And there you have it, my friend! A delicious no-cook pizzeria-style sauce that Nonni would approve of. Buon appetito!
