  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 6 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
