Fagiolini al pomodoro

Fagiolini al pomodoro. The best time for green beans is between July and August, but good ones can be found on the fruit and vegetable stalls as early as the end of May and throughout the summer. A quick and easy way to enjoy them is with San Marzano tomatoes.

Green beans with tomato are a very tasty typical Neapolitan side dish, perfect to accompany meat dishes. Tomatoes, garlic, basil, and extra virgin olive oil are what make this dish a hit, a prime example of the power of spartan simplicity in Mediterranean cuisine.
