Preparation of green beans in tomato sauce with caserecce and eggs
Start by trimming the ends of the green beans, then wash them
In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. When it reaches a boil, add the green beans. Cook for 5 minutes
Then drain them and cool them with ice water so they keep a bright color.
In a pan, crush a clove of garlic and sauté it in extra virgin olive oil
Chop the tomatoes and put them in the pan with a little basil, season with salt.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Then add the green beans. Stir, adjust the pepper, and let cook for another 4 minutes. Then remove half — these will be used for the pasta.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet prepare garlic, oil and red pepper flakes
Add the green beans you had set aside, stir and let cook 2 minutes.
Meanwhile do two things: first, put the water on for the pasta and…
Second, in the pan with the green beans that we had set aside, break 3 eggs over them, cover with a lid, and let them cook over low heat, according to your preference.
Drain the pasta, and dress it with the green beans you had set aside in the small pan.
Here you have, ready in a short time, a first course and a second course with a side dish: Green beans in tomato sauce with caserecce and eggs
