1 small escarole washed and parboiled in a medium saucepan on

2 small pieces anchovy with a little anchovy oil (optional) Sauce: 1 can of Del Monte tomato sauce, (14 1/2 oz size). Unsalted variety is good.
1 small onion, chopped and sauteed in 2 tbsp olive oil.
Directions:
Mix all the filling ingredients, saving the eggs for last. Add
