String/Green Beans in Chunky Tomato Sauce image

This is a recipe from Lidia's Italian American Kithchen. The traditional beans used in this recipe are the Italian string beans - the flat wide ones. Due to the acidity of the tomato sauce they will turn olive green in the cooking process. This recipe is posted by request. I haven't tried it yet.

I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes and the dish still turned out great. This is a great recipe to have on hand when you don't have a lot of time to cook.

I added some Italian sausage to this dish and it was amazing! The sausage added a lot of flavor and made the dish even more hearty.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I had a bunch of green beans that were about to go bad, so I made this dish and it was delicious.
