Baked Green Beans With Mushrooms & Pine Nuts image

This is a great do ahead recipe - get it ready put it in the fridge and 30 minutes before dinner pop it in the oven. I like my beans al dente, so adjust your timing accordingly; 30 minutes produces an extra crisp bean. If you like your veggie well cooked allow up to an extra 20 minutes
