Apulian Green Beans in Tomato Sauce

This simple green bean dish from Apulia yields excellent results with minimal fuss. It’s a great weeknight dish, especially because it can be served cold (many would claim it’s better chilled) and therefore made in advance. Italian vegetables are often cooked a bit longer than some people are used to, and this dish will help you understand why. Put aside any idea of crisp, crunchy green beans, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how deliciously creamy they can become.
