Ingredients

  • 2 red onions, cut into slim wedges
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • olive oil, to drizzle
  • 4 vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 300g spaghetti
  • 3 eggs
  • basil leaves and Parmesan, to serve

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C/fan 180˚C/gas 6. Put the onion wedges in a small roasting tray with the garlic slices, and drizzle with plenty of olive oil. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

  2. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut the tomatoes into strips, add to the onions and toss well. Roast for a further 8-10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to packet instructions, drain well (reserving some of the water to poach the eggs) and toss with the onions and tomatoes. Return to the turned-off oven to keep warm.
  4. Meanwhile, poach 3 eggs in about 2.5cm of just-simmering water for 3-4 minutes, until just set. Divide the pasta between 3 bowls, top each with an egg and scatter with fresh basil leaves and shaved Parmesan.
