Preheat the oven to 200˚C/fan 180˚C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until softened. Transfer to a roasting tin. Add the tomatoes, garlic and sugar, then season. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool slightly.

Purée the tomatoes in a blender, adding a little stock if the mixture is too thick. Return to the same pan and add the remaining stock. Bring to the boil, add the pasta, then simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste.
