This is the second iteration of our green beans with garlic and onions recipe. In the first version we added in diced tomatoes when sauteing the green beans. In this version, we are using tomato paste and some water to make a quick marinara sauce.
If you are not a fan of tomatoes or marinara sauce, leave out the tomato paste in this recipe. Sauteed garlic and onions is full of flavor and will be delicious with the green beans.
