Green Beans Aglio e Olio
These green beans are subtly spicy and full of garlic flavor. It's all the goodness you enjoy in the pasta dish, but in the vegetable form!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen French green beans
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic sliced very thin
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- pinch salt to taste
- ¼ cup fresh Italian parsley chopped fine
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Place a tablespoon of oil into the pan. Add the green beans, carefully (remember they are frozen). Cook until tender and cooked through. *Make sure not to overcook the beans.
- Remove the green beans and transfer them to a medium-sized bowl. Cover with foil to keep them warm.
- Place the remaining oil into the skillet. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown. Keep a close eye so that the garlic does not burn. Add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Pour the garlic olive oil over the green beans and toss to coat. Add parsley, lemon juice, if using, and ¼ of the Parmesan cheese. Place onto the desired serving dish and garnish with the remaining Parmesan. Serve immediately.
