While the beans are cooking, in a small skillet over medium heat, combine next 4 ingredients (butter through tomatoes), and remaining salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tomatoes just begin to soften. Remove from heat and stir in the basil. Place the green beans on a serving platter and pour the tomatoes over the green beans. Use tongs or a fork to gently combine the tomato mixture with the green beans.
