Ingredients

Scale

Pasta and Sauce

  • 300g pasta (penne or rigatoni works well)
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (preferably homemade or your favorite variety)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Olive oil drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Mix Sauce and Spices: In a mixing bowl, combine the tomato sauce with paprika, ground cumin, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
  3. Combine Pasta and Sauce: In a baking dish, mix the cooked pasta with the seasoned tomato sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
  4. Add Eggs: Crack the eggs evenly over the top of the pasta and sauce mixture. Try to space them out to cook evenly.
  5. Bake the Dish: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny or cooked to your preference.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro and crumbled feta cheese if using. Drizzle with olive oil for extra flavor. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use different pasta shapes such as penne, rigatoni, or shells that hold sauce well.
  • Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing chili flakes.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, use vegetable-based tomato sauce and avoid adding meat.
  • If preferred, swap eggs for a vegan alternative but cooking time may vary.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
