EGGS AL POMODORO
A simple Sunday brunch or, if you're like me, a go-to gourmet breakfast, my version of eggs al pomodoro is inspired by the prix fixe at Lil' Frankie's. Flavored with spicy Italian sausage and infused with earthy rosemary, the salty tomato sauce luxuriously balances out the sweet poached eggs. Enjoy with a fresh cup of hazelnut coffee or a Bloody Mary.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add salt and vinegar (the latter is essential if you want your eggs to keep their shape in that rapid water).
- Gently crack an egg into the bath and lower the heat.
- Add another and repeat until they're all in the pot.
- Poach for about 2-3 minutes--this really depends on so many factors, from the temperature of the water that day to the specific egg, so I've found that it just takes practice. Eventually you'll know how long is right for the kind of egg you like (I personally enjoy mine golden and oozing).
- Plate your eggs, salt and pepper them, and drain the water so you can use the same pot, or, if you don't care about dirtying another pan, simultaneously do the next step.
- For a quick breakfast: simply heat up the bolognese in the pot and top your eggs with it.
- For a fancier brunch: brown the sausage in some olive oil, add the sprig of rosemary and tomato sauce, and let it all simmer for a few minutes so the flavors can marry. Top your eggs with the sauce, garnish with cheese, and devour ruthlessly.

This was one of the first dishes we learned to make when I was in Home Economics Class back in the late '60. We love it. The only problem seems to be making enough.

PASTA AL POMODORO
Pomodoro, the Italian word for tomato, comes from pomo d'oro ("golden apple"), and also refers to this sauce. A good pomodoro leans into the inherently savory, umami-rich flavor of the tomatoes, so use the best ones you can find. Any combination of low-water, high-flavor tomatoes like plum, grape, cherry and Campari, cooked down to their purest essence, makes for the most vibrant result. Thin spaghetti works best here, as its airy bounciness catches the pulpy tomato sauce beautifully, but regular spaghetti would taste great, too. Add basil at the end, if you'd like, or a dusting of cheese, but a stalwart pasta al pomodoro made with peak-season tomatoes needs neither.

Steps:
- Add the olive oil and garlic to a large Dutch oven or high-sided skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook the garlic, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden, and small rapid bubbles form around the cloves, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic from the pot and discard (or eat).
- Carefully and gently lower the chopped tomatoes into the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, until the tomatoes let off some liquid and the sauce starts to bubble steadily. Season generously with salt. Lower the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce reduces significantly, about 40 minutes.
- Set a metal sieve, strainer or food mill over a medium bowl. Carefully pour in the tomato sauce. If using a sieve or strainer, push the sauce through with a spoon or flexible spatula, until all that remains are seeds and skins. Be sure to repeatedly scrape off the valuable pulp collecting on the bottom of the sieve (by holding the sieve down against the edge of the bowl and pulling it back). You should have about 2 cups of sauce in the bowl. Taste and add more salt, if needed, then return the sauce to the Dutch oven.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add to the sauce.
- Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce reduces slightly and the pasta is well coated but not drowned in the sauce, about 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit so the pasta can absorb the sauce further, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use the freshest eggs possible for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the eggs. They should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Use a good quality tomato sauce. A homemade sauce is always best, but if you're short on time, a store-bought sauce can also be used.
- Add some fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve the eggs al pomodoro with a side of crusty bread or rice.
Conclusion:
Eggs al pomodoro is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomato sauce. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that is both flavorful and satisfying.
