italian pea and egg stew

[crisgal]

does anyone know a recipe for this? It was years ago when i lived in Rome. My ex sister in law used to cook this once a fortnight for me. It was mainly just peas (and some tomatoes- i think). But sitting in the lovely, garlicky pea juice were perfectly soft boiled eggs! They were egg shaped - as if they had been boiled in their shells. It was truly delicious but i was a young idle teenager, much too lazy to ask how she cooked it! It was truly delicious and I often think of it. I have googled but can't seem to find it. it was, perhaps, her own invention :( in which case I may never taste it again!
