List of Ingredients




1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
salt and red pepper flakes to taste
1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffonade

1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook green beans 3 minutes until barely tender and only halfway cooked. Drain into a colander and set aside.
