Italian Bread Dumplings Recipe

old bread (8.80 ounces

eggs, (beaten)

Pecorino Romano, (heaping, grated)

parsley, (roughly chopped)

olive oil

garlic, (minced)

& 1/2 to 3 cups crushed tomatoes

salt, pepper & peperoncino, (to season)

Start preparing the bread:  remove the hard, crusty portions and dice the white part of the bread.  (Note that the smaller you chop the bread, the easier it is to form a bread dumpling dough.)

Add the eggs, parsley, pecorino Romano, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

Mix to combine evenly --- until it forms a dough.

Use a teaspoon to take a portion of bread dumpling dough.

Roll it between your palms to form it into a ball.  Repeat until you finish the dough.

Start with the sauce by placing a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.

Heat the remaining olive oil.

Add the minced garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant.

Pour the crushed tomatoes, then season with salt, pepper, and peperoncino.

Stir to combine, then add the bread dumplings.

Mix to coat the bread balls with the sauce, then cover with a lid.

Simmer for at least an hour, frequently stirring to ensure that nothing sticks at the bottom.

Transfer into serving bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley and grated Pecorino Romano.

Your Italian bread dumplings are now ready ---- enjoy!
