This recipe is typical of la cucina povera; making something tasty out of practically nothing at all. Pancotto means ‘cooked bread’ and dishes with this title always have bread added for bulk, texture and flavour. There are many different versions of this sustaining yet delicious dish in Italy, all of which arose from the need to feed the family in times of hardship.
