Directions
Cook the soaked white beans in a separate pot until they are soft - about 40 minutes.
Cut the vegetables into rough shapes and sweat them in a bit of oil with the garlic in a large pot until soft, with the lid on.
Decrust the Casalinga loaf and soak it in the water (enough to cover loaf), until it is mushy or porridgey. Mouli the whole peeled tomatoes with ¾ of the cannellini beans into the vegetables.
Reserve the other ¼ for garnishing.
Add all the remaining ingredients and just cover with water.
Cover the pot and put into the oven for 2 hours at 180c.
Add a chunk of yesterday's bread to each bowl and drizzle with the olive oil.
