Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Squeeze tomato halves over a sieve held on a bowl. Discard seeds, reserve juice, and coarsely chop tomatoes. Place tomatoes in food processor. Drain canned tomatoes, reserving juice, coarsely chop, and place in food processor. Pulse to chop, but not too fine.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in 4-quart saucepan. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until soft but not brown. Add tomatoes and juices from fresh and canned tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a slow simmer, and cook 1 hour, stirring from time to time.

  3. Step 3

    Soak bread cubes in warm water 5 minutes. Remove bread, and squeeze dry on towel. Whisk bread into tomato mixture, and simmer 15 minutes. Check seasoning.

  4. Step 4

    Serve hot or at room temperature, with grated ricotta salata and minced basil strewn on each serving.
