Wash and trim the ends of the green beans.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the olive oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Pour in the water, then season with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but not mushy.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley.
Transfer the green beans and tomato sauce to a serving dish and top with crumbled feta cheese.
