Peel the onions and crush or finely chop them. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, add a good splash of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Fry the sausages until they are well browned.

Stir in the sieved tomato and a tablespoon of sugar to correct the acidity. Cook over medium heat until the tomato fries and the sauce thickens.

For the macaroni:

- Drain the macaroni and mix directly with the sauce you have just prepared.

Serve the macaroni and tomato hot. If you like, add grated cheese on top. You can also grill them for a few minutes in the oven so that the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
