"A rich, flavorful twist on the classic shakshuka, infused with bold Italian spices and finished with Umbrian Gold Olive Oil."
Chef Marc Murphy

Ingredients
-
2 Tbsp Umbrian Gold Olive Oil (plus more for drizzling)
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 tsp Bolognese
-
½ tsp Diavolo
-
Chef’s Best Friend, to taste
-
2 cloves garlic, sliced
-
3 cups fresh spinach
-
1 ½ cups passata (strained tomato sauce)
-
2-4 eggs
-
Crusty bread, for serving
Directions
Sauté the Peppers: Heat 2 tablespoons of Umbrian Gold Olive Oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add Spices & Aromatics: Stir in Bolognese Seasoning, Diavolo Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant. If you’d like a little more spice, try adding more Diavolo seasoning.
Build the Sauce – Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in spinach and let it wilt, then pour in the passata. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Cook the Eggs: Make small wells in the sauce and gently crack in 2-4 eggs. Cover and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny (about 5 minutes).
Finish & Serve: Drizzle with Umbrian Gold Olive Oil and serve hot with crusty bread.
