Method
For the Soup:
Step 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook penne until just al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, thyme, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of chili flakes. Sauté until tender and fragrant, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the Tuttorosso Tomato Paste and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly caramelized. Stir in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half.
Step 3
Add Tuttorosso Diced Tomatoes in Puree with Olive Oil, Tuttorosso Peeled Plum Tomatoes Italian Style in Puree with Sweet Basil, and chicken broth and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then add the chicken and bell pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Make the crostini: meanwhile, preheat broiler. Brush sliced baguette with olive oil and season with garlic powder, dried parsley, and parmesan. Broil until well toasted, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Finish soup: stir cooked penne, parmesan, chili flakes, and basil into soup. Ladle into bowls and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with Parmesan Garlic Crostini.
