Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving optional

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
  3. Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the tomato sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce for a bit of heat. Grated Parmesan cheese can be omitted for a vegan version.
