Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste

  • ½ onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 8 cups tomato sauce

  • ¼ cup dry red wine, or more to taste

  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste

  • 1 bay leaf, or more to taste

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • 8 eggs

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir tomato sauce, red wine, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes with the onion and garlic; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes.

  3. Crack eggs into a bowl one at a time and gently slide them into the tomato sauce; cook until beginning to firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over the eggs to cover. Place a lid on the skillet and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes.
