- 1 pound pasta

- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
- about 1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, any kind or a combination, cut into 1″ chunks, the majority of seeds discarded or cut in half if cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of sugar, optional
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil

Instructions
Cook pasta as directed in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12″ skillet or wide heavy saucepan over medium-high. Add onions and cook until softened, then garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and stir until it loses the bright red color, then add tomatoes, pepper, sugar if using, and salt as desired.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes release their juices to form a sauce, five to six minutes. Stir in herbs, reserving a few for the top. Add pasta to pan and toss.
Top each portion with Parmesan and pass the red wine vinegar.
