Pasta with string beans
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Serve the pasta with green beans hot, either as a main dish sprinkled with grated cheese and chopped herbs, or as a side dish, for example with meat. Green beans are rich in beneficial nutrients, but they should not be eaten raw, as raw beans are hard on the stomach (poorly digested) and may cause indigestion. The ready dish can now be served.
