Angelica Pasta with Raisins and Pine Nuts
Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan and add the onion. Cook slowly over low heat until the onion is soft and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes with their reserved juices and simmer for 10 minutes, mashing the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon.
Add the olives, raisins, pine nuts, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 10 more minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until it is al dente. Drain and add to the sauce in the pan; mix thoroughly. Serve the pasta hot.
