Tip
For a quick, no-fuss tomato sauce, in advance of this recipe, place 1 small onion into a small pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and cook for 2 minutes. Then add two fresh, roughly chopped vine tomatoes and continue to cook for a further 3 minutes until the onions and tomatoes are soft. Add 2 tbsp tomato purée and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and whizz with a hand blender until smooth. Serve with the scrambled eggs. Please note that the reference intakes do not include tomato sauce.
