I remember when I was 15\/16 passing the summer holiday at my aunty’s seaside house. She used to prepare an extra simple dish full of proteins and taste for her 4 children and me. I always cleaned my dish with the bread. I guess you will too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

She used a tinned tomato that needed to be cooked for 10 min or so. Here is my version, if you use our\u00a0Basil Tomato Sauce<\/a>, you will reduce the cooking time. Same delicious and nutritious dish cooked in less time.<\/p>\n

The history behind this recipe comes from Naples. They describe, as in some shrines, the white of the egg as if they are the souls of people trapped in\u00a0Purgatory (the area between Heaven and Hell) that try to run from the fire (the tomato sauce).<\/p>\n
