Description
These string beans are terrific as a side dish to any Italian main course. They are a staple in my kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place the green beans in a saucepan with a lid and pour enough water over the beans to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover; simmer until the beans are tender but still crisp
- about 10 minutes. Drain. Spread the beans onto paper towels to dry.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat; stir the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese into the melted butter. Reduce heat to low; add the beans and cook and stir until the beans are heated through and the crumbs are beginning to brown
- about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the parsley over the mixture to serve.
