Add the peeled tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes over low heat until you get a creamy and homogeneous sauce (5).

At this point, pour the green beans into the pan with the tomato sauce, cook over low heat for a minute, mixing so as to mix the ingredients well. Finally, add the potatoes, stir gently so that they remain intact. Serve the green beans in sauce with potatoes with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a leaf of fresh basil (6).

Advice

You can join the green beans to the tomato sauce even without boiling them before: in this case, pour two glass of water into the pan after adding the green beans and cook for 20 minutes.

Use fresh and well-ripe green beans: to see if they are ripe at the right point, try to break them in half with your hands, if you can easily manage your green beans are perfect!
