EGGS IN PURGATORY WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Turn on your oven to 400 degrees. Place the spaghetti squash halves face-down on a baking sheet and pop them into your oven. No need to preheat your oven. Bake for 30 minutes then remove the squash from your oven. Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees. When they have cooled slightly, use a fork to remove the squash in spaghetti-like strings. Work from side to side to do this - not top to bottom.
• While the spaghetti squash is roasting, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and let it cook until it golden and starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and (if using) the anchovies and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan and scrape off any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), and chili flakes and let the sauce cook for at 10 minutes. Generously season to taste with sea salt. Turn the element to low if the spaghetti squash is not yet ready.
• Stir the spaghetti squash into the tomato sauce, reserving a handful to scatter on top. Make 6 wells in the sauce, being careful not to let the bottom of the pan show in any of the wells. Crack an egg into each well then scatter the reserved spaghetti squash around the pan.
• Put the pan into your oven and let it cook for 5 minutes. If the whites have not set, leave them in for another minute. Watch them closely as it is very easy to overcook them. It is better to have soft set egg whites to mix into the sauce rather than over cooked yolks.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in the chickpeas, tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and let cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, letting it wilt.
• With the back of a spoon, make 4 indentations in the sauce. Crack one egg inside of each, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the whole dish.
• Carefully transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve hot with baguette slices.

EGGS IN PURGATORY WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• If making homemade tomato sauce: Heat a medium sized pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, onion, garlic, oregano, and salt. Cook until onions are beginning to soften, 3-5 minutes. Add the entire can of tomatoes into the pot and either smash them with a potato masher or squeeze them with your hands to break them up a little bit. Season with red pepper flakes to taste and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat off and stir in the fresh basil leaves.
• While the sauce is cooking, cut the spaghetti squash in half. Using a sturdy metal spoon, scrape out the inside of the squash (see photos above for tutorial). You should get about 2 1/2 cups of squash.
• Heat a large oven safe pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, spaghetti squash, salt, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook until squash is tender and cooked through, ten minutes.
• Add the tomato sauce and stir. Make 4 small indents in the spaghetti squash and tomato mixture. Crack the eggs and place each one into one of the indents. Place pan in the oven and bake until eggs are cooked to desired state. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped basil and serve with toast, if desired.
