Don’t Throw Leftover Bread… Make This Italian Comfort Dish 🇮🇹🍅

By



If you have leftover bread at home… don’t waste it.
Italy turns it into one of the most comforting dishes ever:
Pappa al Pomodoro 🇮🇹🍅

This rustic Tuscan recipe was born in rural homes where stale bread was never thrown away — just transformed with:

✔ ripe tomatoes
✔ olive oil
✔ garlic
✔ basil
✔ patience

Not a soup. Not a stew.
It becomes a velvety tomato-bread comfort bowl.

I’m using fully ripe Indian tomatoes instead of San Marzano — and the magic still works.

✨ One bite feels like Italy… made from leftovers.

Try it once — bread waste will never happen again.
