Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh green beans (trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 pieces Fresh basil leaves (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Clean and trim the green beans, removing any tough ends.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the tomato sauce.
Pour in the water and stir again. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the green beans gently simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
Stir in the chopped fresh basil during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with additional fresh basil leaves, and serve warm alongside crusty bread or as a side to roasted meats or fish.
