Green Beans With Parmigiano




Source of Recipe


Michele Scicolone's "1,000 Italian Recipes"


List of Ingredients




2 pounds green beans

4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) butter

2 small onions, chopped

1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest

Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano- Reggiano


Recipe



1. Snap off stem ends of beans. Bring about 2 quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add beans and salt to taste. Cook, uncovered, until beans are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Rinse beans under cold water and drain well. Pat dry.

2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in beans, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with cheese and remove from heat. Let cheese melt a little and serve hot.


YIELD: Makes 8 servings.

To make ahead: Do not add cheese until reheating just before serving.
