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.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking, and serve hot.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I usually add some diced onion and bell pepper to the sauce and it gives it a nice extra flavor. Served with grilled chicken, it's a perfect meal.

This recipe was a disaster. The green beans were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I had to throw the whole thing away.
