Garlic and Basil Green Beans
1 1/2 lbs. green beans (trimmed)
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp. olive oil (I cut this to 1 tbsp. and you could even use spray olive oil but I think the flavor of the real deal really enhances this dish)
salt and pepper to taste
Cook green beans 4-7 minutes in pot of boiling water. Put in ice water to stop cooking.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add green beans and stir to coat in olive oil for about 30 seconds. Add garlic and basil and serve immediately.
Makes 4-6 servings.
