Italian String Beans and Tomatoes - Great side dish

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Ciao friend!

I've got another easy Italian side dish for you today! It uses green beans with an Italian twist.

As you may know, I'm a huge fan of the flat style Italian green beans. But these are sometimes hard to find. So this recipe I'm using regular string beans cooked just right with olive oil, garlic and tomatoes!

No fresh green beans from the garden? No problem - buy them frozen like I did.

You can grab the recipe here where I guide you through the process step-by-step. You can also watch the video (it's embedded in the post) if you prefer!

What Does This Go With?

This green beans recipe goes with quite a lot of dishes, here are a few ideas:

Ciao Friend! Christmas is next week, so I'm featured two amazing Italian Sweets, an Eggless Tiramisu and Cannoli Pizzelles. I'm so excited to share these with you! The tiramisu can be made in advance. So can the cannoli shells, but fill them just before serving. Eggless Tiramisu I finally created a recipe for tiramisu that doesn't require eggs. I'm not a fan of raw eggs (even if tempered), and I have to say, I really enjoyed recipe testing this dessert! 👉 Grab Recipe Here 📌 Save to Pinterest...

Ciao Friend! For this week's featured Italian main dish, I'm sharing two manicotti recipes - one for making them from scratch (very traditional method); and the second for those who prefer to buy premade pasta manicotti shells. Both recipes are delicious, but the consistency of the shells are very different - as you can see in the recipe posts.
