Place the tomatoes in a colander and lightly season with sugar and salt.
Allow them to drain for 30 minutes. This will season the tomatoes as well as release any excess water. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, about 7 minutes, or until al dente. Refresh the pasta under cold water. Drain very well and place in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature. This recipe yields 6 servings.
