Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
  • Blanch the green beans before cooking. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes in the sauce. This will give the sauce a more complex flavor. You can use fresh, canned, or diced tomatoes.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the green beans in seasoned tomato sauce immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
