Neapolitan green beans
Instructions:
- Rinse and drain the green beans; place in a medium saucepan while still slightly wet. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, tomato, and oil. Cover; cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft, about 15 minutes.
- Add the basil sprig; cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until most of the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Discard the basil sprig before serving.
