Instructions
Start by washing the fresh green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and add the tomato paste. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Add the vegetable or chicken broth to the tomatoes, stirring to incorporate.
Mix in the dried oregano, dried basil, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the prepared green beans to the tomato sauce, ensuring they are well covered.
Cover the skillet and let it cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the finished dish before serving.
