Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper
  • 1 pound Romano beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

  • In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil.
  • Add the garlic, rosemary and crushed red pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the beans and water, cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, about 10 minutes.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a bowl.
  • Discard the rosemary sprig and boil the water over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the beans back to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve.
