This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more garlic and maybe some lemon juice. The green beans were also a bit overcooked.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of green beans, basil, and red pepper flakes is perfect. I like to add a little bit of Parmesan cheese at the end for extra flavor.
