  • 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Cooking Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the green beans for 3-5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  • Once the garlic is aromatic, add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Toss the beans in the garlic butter for about 3-4 minutes until they are coated and heated through.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes over the green beans to enhance their flavors, stirring well.
  • Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the green beans. Stir gently to combine, allowing the cheese to melt slightly but remaining gooey.
  • Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Before serving, taste the green beans and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

Use fresh green beans for best flavor and texture. Can experiment with different cheeses or add extra vegetables.
