    Pour in the tomato sauce, stir well, and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

    5

    In a separate skillet, fry the bananas in a little oil, either whole or halved lengthwise, until golden brown.

    Fry the eggs sunny-side up in a clean skillet to your liking.
