Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb green beans trimmed
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the garlic for 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the cream and simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Add the green beans and toss to coat in the sauce.
  6. Cook for 2 more minutes until heated through and serve.

Notes

Blanching keeps the beans bright green and crisp-tender.
