Fagiolini Con Pomedore - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb green beans, cleaned and cut
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Add green beans to a pot of water and cook until the beans are tender---about 20 to 30 minutes,and drain well. I believe that canned green beans could be used.
In a frying pan, add olive oil and garlic; saute the garlic, but make sure the garlic does not get brown in color.
Strain the tomatoes and discard liquid; smash up the tomatoes with a fork and drain away any excess juice.
Add the tomatoes to the olive oil & garlic and season with salt and pepper; cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
While the tomatoes are cooking, the water will begin to evaporate, and you will notice more of the olive oil; that is when the sauce is ready.
Add the cooked green beans to the frying pan and incorporate the sauce with the greens beans, serve.
