For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of balsamic vinegar during the simmering process. Fresh green beans are best for this recipe, but frozen green beans can be used in a pinch. If using frozen, add them directly to the sauce without thawing. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious tomato sauce.
