Simple, perfect and yummy! Use sea salt as a great finishing touch.
I grew up in an Italian American home and mom cooked the beans to death, so I do cook them a bit longer as a preference. About 10 minutes total boiling time.

Not the garlic green beans you get at a steakhouse but perfect for "at home and simple." We had it as a side dish to some health-ified macaroni and cheese.

This was good although lacked a punch of flavor. Worth trying one time then would add to or change up a bit.
