Season with salt and pepper and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Season the sauce again to taste. Then crack the eggs and add them to the tomato sauce like fried eggs. Let them set for 5 minutes, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and let them set with the lid closed for another 10 minutes. Serve with ciabatta or toast and a green salad with cream or yogurt dressing. Tip: If you like a lot of sauce, use two cans of tomatoes.
