7. Add the spaghetti to the pan and toss everything together well
8. Spoon in 4 individual oven-proof dishes - see my product recommendation below - (or in a large dish)
9. Make a well in the middle of each dish (or 4 wells if using a large dish), and crack an egg in the centre of each
10. Place in the oven for 12 minutes
11. Remove from the oven and top with torn pieces of mozzarella, black pepper and grated parmesan, present the individual dishes on the table (or spoon on plates if a large dish was used)
