- 4-5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed whole
- 5-6 sage leaves

- 115 gr (4 oz) fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced

- Add the beans, salt, and pepper. Saute over low heat for about 5 minutes
- Add the tomatoes. Cook uncovered over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the beans are tender and the sauce thicker.
- Stir occasionally, adding a small quantity of water if the beans become too dry
