Ingredients
1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, flakes
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 medium tomato, cored and torn into pieces
2 to 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large sprig fresh basil
Preparation
Rinse and drain green beans; place in medium saucepan while still slightly wet. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, tomato, and oil. Cover; cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are soft, about 15 minutes.
Add basil sprig; cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until most of the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Discard basil sprig before serving.
