This recipe is very simple to make and very tasty. The recipe is courtsy of an Italian catering and seen on tv.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb green beans, cleaned and cut
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 3  garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
•  salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Add green beans to a pot of water and cook until the beans are tender---about 20 to 30 minutes,and drain well. I believe that canned green beans could be used.
2. In a frying pan, add olive oil and garlic; saute the garlic, but make sure the garlic does not get brown in color.
3. Strain the tomatoes and discard liquid; smash up the tomatoes with a fork and drain away any excess juice.
4. Add the tomatoes to the olive oil & garlic and season with salt and pepper; cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
5. While the tomatoes are cooking, the water will begin to evaporate, and you will notice more of the olive oil; that is when the sauce is ready.
6. Add the cooked green beans to the frying pan and incorporate the sauce with the greens beans, serve.
