Green Beans with Pancetta and Onion image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans
salt
1/2 cup chopped Italian bacon (pancetta), about 2 ounces
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

1 Snap off the stem ends of the green beans. Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the beans and salt to taste. Cook uncovered until the beans are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Rinse the beans under cold water and drain well. Pat dry. Cut the beans into bite-size pieces. 2 In a large skillet, cook the pancetta, onion, garlic, parsley, and sage in the oil over medium heat until the onion is golden, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and a pinch of salt. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
