Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and sprinkle the sugar over the mixture. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes are tender and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Step 3
Add the vegetable mixture to the cooked pasta, and stir until combined. Serve immediately.
