try this: bread gnocchi

In honor of girlymama's new carnival, my tuesday recipe is a hearty vegetarian dinner that is my go-to on nights when I'm eating solo.

Ingredients

 

8 slices day old, good quality Italian bread

 

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

 

2 tablespoons butter, into pieces

 

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cups (2-ounce cans) tomato sauce

3 small plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped

Several fresh basil leaves, torn

2 cups shredded mozzarella

Directions

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Chop bread into bite size pieces. Add extra-virgin olive oil, butter and garlic to the skillet. Melt butter into oil then add the bread. Season the bread with salt and pepper. Toss and cook the bread 7 to 8 minutes then add the tomato sauce and fresh tomatoes. Turn to coat and warm the tomato sauce, 3 to 4 minutes. Top with basil then cover the dish with cheese.
