Time 13m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (1-pound) bags cut green beans, frozen
2 tablespoons water
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/2 cup pine nuts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Place green beans with 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. As the butter bubbles it will start to turn brown and give off a nutty aroma. Once it has reached a light brown color, add garlic, cooked and drained green beans and pine nuts. Toss to combine and saute for 1 minute until heated through. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately.
