½ lb. Fusilli col buco
¼ cup basil, finely chopped
½ onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
olive oil
parmigiano reggiano, to taste

Prepare onion, & garlic. Add to sauce. Stir to combine & let simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Bring pasta to boil over 4 cups of water.
Drain pasta once al dente & set aside. Add 2 tbsp of sauce to pasta as to not stick together.
Pour eggs into skillet over medium heat. Let sit for 3 minutes, flip, & repeat. Let sit until golden brown on both sides & yolk toughens (test this by gently poking at it with the skillet & make sure it doesn't leak).
