  3. Add tomatoes and seasoning: Mix in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add green beans: Stir in green beans, cover, and simmer on low for 30–40 minutes until potatoes are tender and beans are soft.
  5. Finish and serve: Adjust seasoning. Serve warm with crusty bread or as a side to grilled meats or polenta.
