Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and begin to brown, stirring to break into small pieces, about 4 minutes.

Allow to simmer and reduce, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the capers and half the parsley. Lower the heat.

• In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, anchovies and red-pepper flakes and cook just until the garlic turns golden brown at the edges, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil sprig, and turn the heat to medium-low.
• Simmer, squashing tomato pieces with a wooden spoon or a potato masher, until the tomatoes break down and thicken into a sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, butter, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste.
• Using the back of a spoon, make 6 divots into the tomato sauce, then crack an egg into each divot. Cover the pan and let cook until the eggs are set to taste, about 2 to 3 minutes for runny yolks. (If the pan is not covered, the eggs won't cook through, so don't skip that step.)
• While the eggs are cooking, toast bread in a toaster or under the broiler. Rub warm toast with the cut garlic clove, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt.
• To serve, sprinkle eggs with more Parmesan and chopped herbs, then spoon onto plates or into shallow bowls. Serve with garlic toast and pass pepper flakes at the table.

Steps:

• For the tomato sauce: In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, onions and garlic. Sweat until soft and tender, about 10 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to gently form the egg whites into a round shape. Turn off the heat, cover and cook for 3 minutes for a soft-set yolk. Remove from the water using a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Transfer about 1/2 cup of the hot tomato sauce to a small cast-iron pan or ovenproof baking dish and mix with a little of the basil. Make a slight well, leaving a light covering on the bottom. Carefully transfer the poached eggs to the well. Season with a pinch of sea salt. Top with Parmesan, additional basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Broil until the sauce is bubbling and the top of the eggs are just set, about 2 minutes. Serve with grilled bread.

Steps:

• The day before, prepare the meats for the ragù: Sprinkle the pork shoulder and pork belly all over with salt and refrigerate overnight.
• Make the ragù: Place the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion halves, cut-side down, and brown gently for about 20 minutes, moving them occasionally. Remove the onions.
• Place the tomatoes and their juices in a bowl, season with a few pinches of salt and squeeze into chunks. Add the tomatoes and meats (including prosciutto) to the pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and cook at a very low simmer for 4 hours. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Remove the meats from the sauce and set aside for another use (added to leftover ragù, they're great over pasta). Season ragù to taste with salt.
• Make the polenta: In a medium pot, combine the polenta, 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and whisk continuously until the mixture comes together. Lower heat to a simmer and stir often with a wooden spoon until tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the chestnut flour and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cover.
• In a large sauté pan, combine 3 cups of the ragù, the basil and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Crack the eggs and distribute them evenly on top of the ragù. Give the pan a shake to ensure that the eggs do not stick to the bottom, cover with a lid and cook until the eggs have set, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Divide the polenta among warm bowls. Scoop up an egg with some ragù and place on the polenta. Drizzle the eggs with olive oil, grate ricotta salata over the top and garnish with a slice of lardo, if using. Serve immediately.
