Pappa al pomodoro is a typical dish of Tuscan cuisine. Made with stale whole wheat bread and tomato sauce, it is a tasty and traditional first course.
Finely chop the stale bread (it should not be wet) in a large pot, sauté the garlic and chili pepper in the oil, add the tomato sauce and cook for about 5 minutes
Add the chopped bread to the sauce, adjust the salt, and cook, stirring well until the bread is completely "melted"; the consistency should be like a "pappa" (this takes about 30 minutes)! If necessary, add a little boiling water or vegetable broth
Serve drizzled with a little raw extra virgin olive oil
