In a large sauté pan over a medium flame heat the oil and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute and add in the Tomatoes.

Cook for 5 minuets and add the broccoli rabe and the water. Cool for another 5 minutes or until the stalks of the broccoli rabe are tender. Add in the beans and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
