Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is in our regular rotation for quick weeknight dinners—definitely a favorite! I love the zippy sauce rounded out a bit by the rosemary.

    I've always skipped these types of recipes as runny yolk, fried eggs are a "hard no" for me BUT this time, I stopped on this page....making just the sauce for a pan of saucy meatballs to eat with cheesy garlic bread AND we really enjoyed it.

    This is going into the regular rotation of weekend breakfast options. So tasty and not overly filling. Incredibly easy to throw together. I overcooked the eggs by accident but it was still delicious. Served with toasted slices of sourdough.

    Wonderful. I had some leftovers and ate the next morning and it was even better than the same day, now making me wonder if I should be making double batches- one for brunch and one for the next day.

    Made many times - family favorite. I also use this as a base tomato sauce for other recipes.

    Really good, and really simple! Even our toddler and 9-month old enjoyed them!
