Instructions

1). Bring water to a boil, add 1 tbsp salt, and cook pasta according to package instructions. (Save one cup of cooking liquid for the sauce)

2). While the pasta is cooking, heat up oil in a wide skillet, chop and sauté the onions for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

3). Add the spices and mix for 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and mix for about a minute so that the spices and the tomato paste get a chance to open with the heat.

4). Add the tomato sauce, and sugar, and mix very well. Add 1 cup of the pasta water and lower the flame to medium-low, and simmer for about 3-5 minutes. Check for salt and pepper according to your liking.

5). Drain the pasta, place back in the pot, transfer the sauce immediately on top of the pasta, and mix until all the pasta is well coated. Serve immediately!

Note: Feel free to add more water to the sauce if needed
