• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed

1. Heat olive oil in large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
2. Smash the cloves of garlic and toss them into the pan.
3. Cook, shaking the pan, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
4. Scatter the beans over the oil, season them lightly with salt and red pepper, and turn with tongs until they begin to wilt, about 3 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, crush the tomatoes coarsely with your hands and add them to the beans.
6. Cover the pan, cook until the beans are tender- about 10 minutes.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking, and serve hot.
