Potatoes

4 medium, diced

Green beans

1 pound, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Extra virgin olive oil

4 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Fresh basil

1/2 cup, chopped

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
2. Add the diced potatoes to the boiling water and cook for approximately 10 minutes, until they are halfway tender.
3. Gently add the green beans to the pot with the potatoes and continue to boil for another 10 minutes, or until both the potatoes and green beans are fully tender.
4. Carefully drain the potatoes and green beans in a colander, allowing them to steam dry for a minute.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot vegetables with the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently until everything is well combined and the garlic releases its fragrant aroma.
6. Finish the dish by folding in the freshly chopped basil and serving warm. For an extra touch, drizzle with a little more olive oil before serving.
