Giambotta image

This comes from "The Mafia Cookbook" by Joe Dogs Iannuzzi. It can be served as a side dish as the cookbook suggests or you can pour it over egg noddles and add a generous helping of parmesan for a heartier carb packed main dish.

Time 1h

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1 (35 ounce) can peeled chopped tomatoes
1 pinch of crushed dried oregano
2 medium boiling potatoes (to large)
2 cups green beans or 2 cups zucchini, approximately
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat skillet over medium heat.
  • Add oil and coat pan.
  • Add garlic and cook until soft, but not brown.
  • Drain liquid from tomatoes and reserve.
  • Add tomatoes and oregano to pan and cook 20-30 minutes over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
  • While tomatoes are cooking parboil potatoes and beans separately (I've nuked potatoes in the micro and obtained satisfactory results- it's quicker than boiling).
  • Drain cooked (al dente preferably) beans and add them to the tomato mixture.
  • Cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes and add to sauce.
  • Cook for another 5-10 minutes (if the mixture needs more moisture or you just prefer this dish saucier you can add some of the reserved liquid at this stage).
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
