Eggs and wet zucchini

Step 1

Heat the tomato sauce in a smallish casserole or saucepan.

Step 2

Add the zucchini, and simmer gently until the water they release has reduced.

Step 3

Season with salt and pepper, then crack the eggs straight into the sauce and poach them to your preferred consistency.

Step 4

Towards the end of the cooking time, top with the provolone cheese slices (if using) and serve with plenty of black pepper.
