Cook the linguine according to the package instructions. Dice the eggplant and onion, finely slice the garlic, finely slice the vine tomatoes, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop half of the basil. Heat plenty of olive oil in a pan and sauté the eggplant. Add the onion and garlic and fry. Add the vine tomatoes and sugar and let everything caramelize slightly. Deglaze with white wine and add the finely chopped basil. Drain the linguine, reserving some of the pasta water. Add the pasta water to the vegetables in the pan.
