1 Veggie Box onion finely chopped
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves Veggie Box garlic, minced

1-2 sprigs of fresh basil chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set aside. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Make sure to give it a few stirs. Add the red pepper flakes and the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, and crush them as they cook. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to obtain a vigorous simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.In the meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the beans for about 5 minutes. Beans should still be crisp. Drain and add to simmering tomatoes. Simmer, uncovered, until beans become tender but still firm (not mushy). If the sauce appears dry, add some water. Add the herbs during the last few minutes of cooking. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
