Steps
Warm olive oil over medium heat in a large, deep frying pan on the stove.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant while stirring occasionally, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Stir in tomatoes and cook down for about 5 minutes, until they have broken down a bit and have formed a chunky sauce, stirring occasionally.
Add green beans and stir to coat them with the tomato mixture.
Simmer covered over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes if using fresh green beans (25-35 minutes if using frozen), until the beans are softened and tender crisp.
Stir in salt and pepper. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper as desired. Serve immediately.

Shelly on 2020-10-21 (5 stars): So simple but so good! This is the perfect side any time of the year!
Erin M on 2021-11-20 (5 stars): So glad I stumbled across this recipe a few months ago! We make it at least every other week now, and my family of 5 fights over it! (My boys are 11, 9, and 3, and I suppose our Italian genes must predispose them to loving the flavor profile). I think I’m going to have to start doubling it! (We used fresh green beans and canned tomatoes). Thanks for sharing it with the world!
Susan on 2023-07-11 (5 stars): I’ve never written a review before. These are out of this world delicious! I made exactly as the recipe stated, twice now. The only way I’ll ever cook them again. Thank you for the recipe!
