First, I quickly prepped my ingredients.

Then I heated one tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized sauté pan and added my onions.

I started cooking the onions over medium-low heat.Anneta Konstantinides/Insider

I let my onions cook over medium-low heat for about six minutes, making sure to stir them occasionally.

I threw in the garlic and let it cook for one minute before adding the Arrabbiata sauce.

While the sauce was simmering, I prepped my eggs.
