This Italian inspired dish is made with fresh green beans combined with fresh tomatoes, garlic and shallots. It comes together in just 20 minutes for a healthy and hearty weeknight side. Best of all, you can make it ahead. You can cook the green beans in step 1 up to a day ahead. Refresh them under cold water, then drain, transfer to a zip-close plastic bag, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, continue with steps 2 and 3. Serve this dish with Parmesan chicken.
