Step 1
Dice the onion and bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Mince the garlic and set aside.
Step 2
Combine cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spice mixture and stir for 30 seconds.
Step 5
Pour in tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes. Stir well, then simmer for 5-8 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper.

Create 8 small wells in the sauce using the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
