I didn't like these green beans. The tomatoes and basil were too overpowering and the beans were mushy. I will not be making this recipe again.

These green beans were okay. The tomatoes and basil added a nice flavor, but the beans were a little overcooked. I will probably try this recipe again, but I will cook the beans for a shorter amount of time.
