Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
5 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, cut into 1/4-inch chunks (1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Add the green beans to the pan and cook until vibrant green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain and place in the ice water for 1 minute. Drain the beans. 2. In a small nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the rosemary and let cool slightly. 3. In a serving bowl, combine the green beans, cannellini beans, Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the garlic-rosemary oil and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Serve immediately.
