Author Notes: If you ever start getting bored with the flavor of string beans, this is a classic Italian way to pep them up. The anchovies are typical of southern Italian cooking."
Ingredients: 1 recipe Basic Boiled and Buttered String Beans, omitting butter, (click here for recipe)
4 large cloves garlic, minced or pressed to a smooth paste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 anchovy fillets, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, drained, patted dry and finely chopped (soaking optional)
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions: While the beans are boiling, cook the garlic paste in the olive oil over low heat in a small pan. When the garlic sizzles, after about 2 minutes, take the pan off the heat and stir in the anchovies and crushed red pepper.

Drain the beans and return to the pot used for boiling. Toss the beans with the garlic mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately. The beans can also be allowed to cool and the served at room temperature as a salad.
