Pasta With Raw Tomato and Balsamic Sauce image

I think I found this recipe at a local farmers market. I haven't tried it yet, but it looked really good to me because I love the components of the recipe. At least this way I won't have to hunt for one more little piece of paper next time I have good summer tomatoes. Since it's an uncooked sauce, the highest-quality ingredients you can get your hands on are a must. Cook and prep times are approximate.

1 lb thick strand pasta (such as linguine or fettuccini)
1 pinch brown sugar
1/4 cup good-quality balsamic vinegar

1 cup loosely-packed fresh basil leaf
fresh parmesan cheese, shaved or grated (optional)
