1 large carrot, shredded
4-6 large tomatoes, peeled (by dipping into boiling water), seeded, and coarsely chopped (4-5 cups)

1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. white sugar

In a 3 qt. saucepan cook onion and carrot in butter for about 10 min. Stir in tomatoes, basil, salt, sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 min.
Whirl tomato mixture, a portion at a time, in a food processor or blender until smooth; set aside.
Pour broth into pan and bring to a boil. Add pasta and simmer about 7 min. Stir in tomato mixture and heat through.
