Green Beans with Parmigiano Reggiano

Category: Vegetable

Use a large skillet so that the beans have plenty of room.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound green beans, trimmed and left whole or cut diagonally in half (about 4 cups) 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans, cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally and lower heat if beans are browning too quickly.
Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper and cook, stirring gently, until cheese is browned, about 3 minutes.

Serves 4.
