Turn on the stove to medium heat and heat a medium-sized fry pan.

Add enough extra virgin olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan and wait until it gets hot.

Add the chopped onion and smashed garlic clove to the pan, ensuring the heat is low to medium to avoid burning.

Sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 1 minute.

Add the 3 and 1/2 cups of tomato sauce to the pan.

Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, stirring to combine.

Cover the pan with a lid and let the sauce cook on low to medium heat for about 15 minutes.

Check the sauce after 15 minutes and stir it.

Break the eggs into a small bowl for control, then slowly pour them into the sauce.

Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.

Cover the pan again and cook on low to medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, keeping an eye on the eggs to ensure the yolks remain soft.

Garnish the dish with 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley before serving.
