I took inspiration for today’s post from a large can of Italian green beans I happened to have on hand. Italian (or Romano) green beans are wider compared to typical string beans or pole beans. Another difference is a subtle nutty flavor as well.
I thought they would go well with smoked sausage I also had and some creamer potatoes. The larger size of the Italian beans paired well with the chunks of sausage and halved potatoes.
Boiling the potatoes in water with some chicken bouillon adds a little extra flavor to them. And reserving some liquid to use in the final dish reinforces it.
Add a few select seasonings and you have a delicious and hearty side dish.

I have never heard of Italian Green Beans. I will have to keep an eye open.
They are wide and flat. Also known as romano beans although packaging will only say Italian beans.
That looks quite healthy with beans and sausage.
I have a big bag of fresh Romano beans I got from Melissa’s that I need a recipe for. This sounds perfect.
This looks delish – perfect for summer
