Step 1:

Gather the ingredients from the list and follow the recipe to make lenten pasta with tomato sauce.
Step 2:

The first part of the dish — its foundation — is the easiest. Just drop the pasta into boiling salted water and cook it until done, following the package directions. Then drain it in a colander. After that, give it a quick fry in a little olive oil.
Step 3:

Now comes the second part — without it, the lenten pasta wouldn't be much fun to eat. The sauce, of course, fixes that. Peel the onion and cut it into half-rings.
Step 4:

Pour olive oil into a saucepan and add the chopped onion.
Step 5:

Add a tablespoon of flour and stir. Now you can turn on the heat. Fry, stirring with a spoon. Stop when the onion turns from translucent to golden.
Step 6:

Then pour in a glass of white wine to loosen the mixture.
Step 7:

Keep cooking, stirring the contents of the pan. Now add the tomato paste, a little more water, and the seasonings, including the sugar. From here, frying turns into simmering, so lower the heat a bit.
Step 8:

Keep an eye on it, stirring now and then. This last stretch of cooking takes about 15 minutes. By then the sauce should be nice and thick.
Step 9:

Take it off the heat and pour it over the lenten pasta.
Step 10:

Now you can dig in with a smile.

If you're fasting, this recipe will help you eat a hearty meal without breaking the fast. If you're not fasting, you can confidently serve lenten pasta as a side dish to meat cooked any way you like (fried, baked, stewed, boiled), cutlets, meatballs, fish, chicken, mushrooms, and so on. The tomato sauce makes the pasta especially tasty and more appetizing to look at. The pasta can be any shape you like best — spaghetti, noodles, shells, spirals, and so on. You can use durum-wheat pasta.
