Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the finely chopped shallots and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the can of chopped tomatoes and add the tomato puree.
  5. Stir in the dry breadcrumbs and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Slowly whisk the beaten eggs into the warm sauce, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
  9. Return to very low heat just until the eggs are set and the sauce is creamy, do not boil.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, then serve immediately.
