Hummus with Flavored Crostini

1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then transfer them to a food processor.

2. Add the lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, salt, and, if desired, a crushed garlic clove.

3. Blend until you reach the desired consistency, whether smoother or chunkier.

4. Transfer the hummus to a bowl and garnish with some pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and chopped parsley.

5. Cut the bread into cubes of about 1-3 cm and place them in a bowl. Add the chopped herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, Ortolina Tomato Ready Sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix the bread cubes well.

6. Transfer the crostini to a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 10 minutes, turning them halfway through for even browning.

7. Remove the crostini from the oven and garnish the hummus before serving.
