Servings: persons

6 cloves garlic
1 large onion, peeled,cut in half,thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper
1 (1 3/4 lb) can plum tomatoes
1 lb stale bread, sliced,torn into small pieces
6 cups broth, of your choosing
1 cup packed basil, shredded
grated parmesan cheese
extra virgin olive oil

1
Saute the garlic and onion in olive oil with the chili pepper until the garlic has lightly browned and the onion is just getting golden; add the tomato; season with salt; add half the basil leaves torn into tiny pieces; crush the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon and stir; cook until the tomatoes fall apart (about 20 minutes).
2
Put the bread into the sauce; the bread will soak up the sauce and it will get quite thick; add enough stock to soften the bread and to make it liquidy; add the remaining basil and cook until the bread becomes a kind of mush (this is called'pappa').
3
Serve, sprinkling with parmesan cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over each serving.
