I'm always looking for simple vegetable side dishes for my picky kids. They love this one, and it's quick and really simple. If I know I'm going to be pressed for time, I'll trim the ends of the green beans the night before. Use your favorite jarred pesto. Adapted from Southern Living Ultimate Quick and Easy.
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and rinsed
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon pesto sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Arrange green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 6 minutes or until crisp-tender.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
3. Stir in garlic, pesto and salt. Saute 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
4. Toss butter mixture with beans in a bowl.
5. Serve immediately.
