How to Make Sicilian Egg Patties

**Make the Sauce:** In a heavy saucepan, sauté 1 medium chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until softened.
Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 minced cloves of garlic, and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, adding water if the sauce becomes too thick.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil and remove from heat.
**Prepare the Patties:** In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the egg mixture into the hot skillet, working in batches. Cook the patties for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
Drain the cooked patties on paper towels, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
**Combine and Simmer:** Add the prepared tomato sauce to the skillet. Add the egg patties and simmer for 5 minutes, turning them once halfway through, to coat them in the sauce.
