  1. You start, as so often, with a soffritto of onion and/or garlic sautéed in olive oil. Then you add best quality canned tomatoes, crushed in your hands, and allow them to simmer.
  2. Meanwhile, blanch your trimmed green beans in abundant, well-salted water until crisp-tender, drain and add them to the tomato sauce along with some of their cooking water and allow them to simmer in the sauce until quite tender.
