Flat beans have many identities, they are also called “Romano beans”, or “Italian beans”. They are very flavory and require some more patience when prepared (extra cooking time needed) but it is definitely worth the time. I really like this recipe because it is very very easy to do and it guarantees that you will get your dose of veggies for the day. Little tip: try picking the ones that are more flat, unblemished, avoiding those that have big apparent beans. Choose well as there are 2 things to do well in this recipe: good beans and a well-seasoned tomato sauce.
