Ingredients
- 5 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
- 1 tsp of smoked paprika
- 200 g of mozzarella, drained and torn into pieces
- 7 vine tomatoes, quartered, deseeded and chopped
- 1 romano pepper, deseeded and cut into strips

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and bring a saucepan of water to the boil ready for the spaghetti. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan, then add the garlic, bay leaves, tomatoes and pepper. Season, cover and saute over a low heat for 6-8 minutes.Step 2
Uncover, turn up the heat and add the chorizo, paprika, and most of the oregano, sauteing for 3 minutes. Add the stock, stir, then remove from the heat.Step 3
Cook the spaghetti in the pan of boiling water until al dente (6-7 minutes, depending on the brand). Drain and add to the sauteed mixture. Toss everything together nicely and spoon into two small ovenproof dishes. Make a well in the middle of each dish, gently crack an egg into the centre and pop the dishes in the oven. Cook for 12 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking.Step 4
Remove from the oven and top with the mozzarella, some black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining oregano and the pecorino, if you're using it.
