Spaghetti With Green Beans Food

SPAGHETTI WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Wash the green beans and cut off the thinner parts at each end. Peel and slice the onion very finely. Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters depending on how big they are.
• Pour the oil into a large frying pan or skillet, heat it and fry the garlic clove, onion and whole peperoncino until the onion starts to soften. Then add the tomato pieces and cook until they start to soften too.
• In the meantime, in a pot with plenty of salted water, partly cook the green beans for a few minutes. Drain the beans and add them to the pan with the onion and tomatoes.
• Continue cooking for 5 minutes then add the tomato passata and mix everything together. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• When the sauce is almost ready, cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet. I used the water I cooked the beans in. If you are using fresh pasta the cooking time will be very short.
• Remove the garlic clove and red chilli pepper from the sauce. Drain the pasta and add it to the green beans and tomato sauce.
• Add a generous sprinkling of grated cacioricotta and mix well. I also added a handful of chopped fresh parsley or you can use basil. (both are optional)
• Serve with more grated cacioricotta or pecorino sprinkled on top.

Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden in color, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Turn heat to medium and add the pasta, green beans and butter to the skillet and toss until the butter melts.
