I hope that the Tuscans do not get angry with me, but today I made Pappa al Pomodoro Recipe a little my way.
Ingredienti for 4 people:
200 g of Tuscan bread (3 or 4 days before at most)
2 cloves of garlic
4 ripe but firm tomatoes
60 ml of extra virgin olive oil
10 leaves of fresh basil
Cervia salt
pepper
Immerse the tomatoes in boiling water for 12/15 seconds, then cool them in iced water; peel them and remove the seeds, keeping their water after filtering it.
Cut the bread into small pieces and sauté in a pan with the garlic, peeled and cut into strips and 40 ml of oil, taking care not to burn the bread or the garlic
Remove from the heat, add the water from the tomatoes and leave to rest for about twenty minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes and put on the heat for about 10/15 minutes, add salt and if the pasta is too dry add a little water.
Serve hot or cold adding the basil, the remaining oil and a little ground pepper at the moment.
