    2 Cook the pancetta

    In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pancetta. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

    In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped shallot and chopped ginger; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the curry paste. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Add the drained chickpeas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined.

    Add the tomato sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), halved tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly reduced in volume. Add the spinach and half the cream. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined and the spinach is wilted. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Using a spoon, create 2 shallow wells in the center of the finished sauce. Carefully crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Turn off the heat and let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. Serve the shakshuka drizzled with the remaining cream and topped with the cooked pancetta. Enjoy!
