- Do keep an eye on the mix during cooking as you may need to add a tbsp or two of water so that the tomato mix has a passata type consistency. Adjust the seasoning.
- Remove the bay leaves, add in the asparagus and break the four eggs on top, cover the frying pan with a lid and cook for about 10 mins until the eggs are just set.
