Katie says the dinner she had at Masseria Il Frantoio in Italy was one of the top five of her life. This green bean dish is a riff on one of the courses.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1 pound Chinese long beans (or green beans), trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 14.5-ounce can cherry tomatoes
3 fresh basil leaves, torn
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup shaved ricotta salata cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and dry well with paper towels.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until the garlic just starts browning, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, basil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to low and bring to a low simmer. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes start breaking down, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beans and stir-fry until slightly browned and hot, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and top with the tomatoes and ricotta salata. Season with more pepper.
