Instructions

If the bacon is not already diced, slice the bacon.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and fry the sausage and bacon. Set aside. Once cooled slice the sausage into bite size pieces.
Remove any excess fat in the pan from the bacon and sausage leaving you with roughly a tablespoon of oil in the pan.Add the chopped onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on low to medium heat. Stirring at intervals to avoid burning. See notes below.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the canned tomato juices and add into the onions followed by the Calabrese and Vegetable Smell and Taste spices
Add the tomato paste and mix it into the onion and spices followed by another tablespoons of the tomatoes to help the paste cook without burning, mix. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining tomatoes followed by salt and pepper to taste. At this point you can add a little of the chopped parsley to cook in.with the tomato sauce (optional) or just use for garnish.
Carefully crack the eggs into the sauce one at a time leaving enough space inbetween.
Give the eggs a tiny pinch of seasoning. Cover the pan and leave to cook on medium heat until the eggs are done to your liking.
Garnish with parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Notes

Cook the onion for no less than 5 to 10 minutes to create flavor. Don't forget to add a pinch of salt while they cook to help them sweat and caramelize. Your heat should be on medium but depending on your stove, if the onions start burning, lower the heat or remove the pan for a second to help stabilize the heat. Continue cooking and add a tablespoon at a time of the tomato to help it cook without adding any other liquid until after you get the paste in. This will ensure your flavor base.

Season as you go. Beginning, middle and end.
