Servings4
13 oz (370 g) plum tomatoes
3.5 oz tomato sauce
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
9.5 oz frozen peas
4 small eggs (1.5 oz each)
1 garlic clove
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
chopped fresh parsley
a pinch of salt

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

1

Chop the tomatoes.

2

Crush the garlic clove with the knife blade.

3

Heat the olive oil in a cast iron pan on medium-low heat.

4

Add the garlic to the hot oil and allow it to get brown.

5

Remove the garlic from the pan.

6

Add the chili flakes and frozen peas to the pan and stir for a couple of minutes until the peas are defrosted and start to cook, noticing their color change.

7

Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce to the pan and stir well.

8

Cover the pan with a lid (or improvise if you don't have one) and let it cook for roughly 10 minutes until the peas and tomatoes darken in color.

9

Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and check the seasoning.

10

Create 4 holes in the mixture and crack one egg into each hole, breaking the eggs into a small bowl first to avoid shell pieces.

11

Sprinkle the eggs with a bit of salt and optional pepper.

12

Cover the pan and cook for 4 minutes until the eggs are ready to be served.

13

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley before serving.
