In this recipe, green beans are cooked in a light tomato sauce with cherry tomatoes instead of a traditional creamy sauce. Fresh rosemary and garlic infuse them with a wonderfully spicy flavor, while red pepper flakes add a zesty note. Arrange the vegetables in a casserole, top with a crispy topping of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and parsley, and roast in the oven until golden brown. Serve immediately as a side dish for meat or poultry.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
  2. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 minute.

  3. Add the green beans, cherry tomatoes, and liquid from the can, 1 3/4 cups water, and 2 teaspoons salt to the pot. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish.
  4. Mix in a bowl panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Sprinkle the topping over the beans and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
